Ingredients (makes ~20 cookies)

• 120g butter (melted)

• 1 egg

• 100g sugar

• 250g flour

• ½ tsp baking soda

• A pinch of salt

• 1–2 tsp premium matcha powder @matchaunion

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

1️⃣ Melt the butter and mix it with sugar and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
2️⃣ Add the egg and mix well until fully incorporated.
3️⃣ Gradually stir in the flour and baking soda until a soft dough forms.

Step 2: Divide and Color

1️⃣ Split the dough into two equal portions.
2️⃣ Mix matcha powder into one half until fully combined and green in color.

Step 3: Shape the Flowers

1️⃣ Roll small balls of dough from each color.
2️⃣ Arrange 5–6 alternating color balls in a circle to form a flower shape. Use a smaller contrasting ball in the center for a “flower core.”
3️⃣ Gently press each flower flat to shape and secure it.

💡 Tip: You can also chill the dough for 30 minutes before shaping if it feels too soft.

Step 4: Bake

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Place the cookies on a lined baking tray and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Let the cookies cool slightly on the tray, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or cooled with a cup of matcha or floral tea!
