Matcha Heart Thumbprint Cookies

When matcha meets strawberry… everything feels a little more romantic.
Buttery, soft, and lightly earthy with a sweet strawberry center — these little heart cookies are made for gifting, sharing, or keeping all to yourself.

Because self-love counts too. 💌🍵

🌿 You’ll Need:

• 120 g melted butter
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 150 g flour
• 80 g powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp premium matcha powder @matchaunion
• Strawberry jam

✨ Method:

1️⃣ Mix the base
In a bowl, whisk melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

2️⃣ Add dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and matcha powder. Add to the butter mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.

3️⃣ Shape the cookies
Roll the dough into small balls and place on a parchment-lined baking tray. Gently press them down with your palm.

4️⃣ Create the hearts
Using a spoon or your fingers, press small heart shapes into the center of each cookie.

5️⃣ Fill with jam
Spoon strawberry jam into each heart. (Tip: warm the jam slightly if it’s too thick.)

6️⃣ Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–12 minutes, until lightly set.

7️⃣ Cool & enjoy
Let cool slightly — then they’re ready to gift, share, or savor.

💕 Optional Touches:

• Dust with powdered sugar for a soft finish
• Add white chocolate drizzle
• Swap strawberry for raspberry or cherry jam

Bake them. Gift them. Share them. Or keep them all to yourself with a cozy cup of matcha.
Happy Valentine’s Day. 💌🍵✨
