Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1/4 cup matcha green tea powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (Ensure it’s softened but not melted.)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Notes
- The butter should be softened but not melted, which helps achieve the perfect texture.
- Feel free to adjust the matcha powder according to your taste preference.
