Matcha oreo cookies

The cutest halloween cookies!! These matcha oreo cookies taste like a cookies n cream matcha latte, they’re heavenly!

I suggest using ceremonial grade matcha for these cookies, the same you use in a high quality matcha drink. That way you not only get the vibrant green color but the strong taste of matcha too.

These matcha oreo cookies are soft and gooey in the center with a crackly top. Once cooled, they harden slightly but stay gooey inside.

Ingredients:

110g butter, 1/2 cup, unsalted

200g sugar, granulated / caster

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

200g all purpose flour, sifted

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp fine salt

1 tbsp matcha powder, ceremonial grade, sifted

12 oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Method:

Melt butter: add butter to a small fry pan over low heat and gently melt. Once melted, turn off the heat and let the butter get to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

Cream butter with sugar: add sugar to a mixing bowl and pour over melted butter. Using a standard whisk, whisk until light and creamy, about 1-2 mins. Add egg and vanilla and whisk again until combined, 1-2 minutes.

Add dry ingredients: add in flour (sifted), matcha (sifted), baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined using a spatula then fold in the chopped oreos.

Roll into balls: roll into golf sized balls, makes about 16 cookies. Add to a baking paper lined plate and place into the fridge for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 175C/350F.

Bake: Add to a baking paper lined tray, evenly spread apart by 2 inches and bake for 8-9 minutes (8 minutes for a more gooey center).

Cool: let cookies cool on the tray for 1-2 minutes, then transfer the cookies on the baking paper onto a cooling rack or cool surface and let cool for 10 minutes.
