Matcha sugar cookies

On this pre-new years eve day, I decided to try and make some of those matcha sugar cookies today! Thought it would be a good dessert to make if I master it as a good gift to give to people.
So, let's get on to it.

I mainly followed one recipe here.  Turned out pretty well. You can adorn the cookies with frosting, chocolate, but I decided to go for a plain matcha sugar cookie first.

Ingredients: 
1 large egg
2/3 cup of butter, soft (about 1 and 1/6 sticks)

1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
2 tsp matcha powder
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 cup white sugar

Directions:
1. Put butter in microwave about 45-60 seconds to soften it.
2. Mix the butter and sugar and beat the egg together until smooth consistency.
3. Whisk in the dry ingredients- flour, sugar, green tea powder in another bowl until it looks evenly mixed.
4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the liquid ingredients until the dough comes together.
5. Wrap the dough in saran wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.
6. After an hour, let the dough sit in room temperature for several minutes until it is soft enough to roll.
7. Preheat the oven to 350* F.
8. Place dough in small round circles (or you can use any cookie cutter shapes if you like) slightly spaced apart to allow the dough to expand and rise on a baking pan lined with aluminum foil.
9. Bake in oven for about 12 minutes until edges or slightly browned.
10. Let it cool completely in room temperature.
11. Now you are ready to eat this deliciously matcha snack!
