Ingredients
Method
Step 1 — Preheat
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (convection). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2 — Make the Cookie Dough
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle attachment, beat the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and off-white in color, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Step 3 — Add Dry Ingredients
- Add the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the dough until no dry spots remain.
Step 4 — Scoop & Bake
- Scoop ⅓ cup portions of cookie dough and place onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly apart.
- Bake for 11–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- For perfectly round cookies, use a round bowl, cup, or cookie cutter to gently swirl around the cookies immediately after removing them from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring.
Step 5 — Make the Strawberry Purée
- Add the strawberries to a food processor and blend until crushed. Strain the mixture until smooth and set aside.
Step 6 — Make the Strawberry Frosting
- In a bowl, beat the butter until light and off-white. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated and slightly thick.
- Add the strawberry purée, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, then whip until light and fluffy.
Step 7 — Frost & Store
- Pipe or spread the frosting onto the cooled cookies in a swirl design.
- (Optional: top each cookie with a fresh strawberry.)
- Enjoy fresh, or store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 8 days.
