Instructions
Cream Butter and Sugar
Beat the softened vegan butter and powdered sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 3 minutes.
Mix in Dry Ingredients
Sift together the flour, matcha powder, and sea salt, then fold them into the butter mixture along with the vanilla extract until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Shape and Chill
Roll the dough into a log shape about 2 inches in diameter, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm enough to slice.
Bake the Cookies
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the chilled dough into rounds about a quarter inch thick and place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until the edges are just lightly golden.
