Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons culinary-grade matcha powder For best flavor, use high-quality matcha.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Lavender Frosting
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon lavender extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar until creamy and light in color.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until smooth. Gradually add the dry mixture to the bowl while mixing until just combined.
  5. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to place dollops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
Frosting
  1. In a separate bowl, mix the powdered sugar with milk and lavender extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.
  2. Once cookies have cooled, generously frost with the lavender frosting.
Serving
  1. Serve and enjoy with family and friends.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes to restore texture.
