- ¾ cup (90 grams, 3.17 ounces) powdered sugar
- 1 egg (60g, 2.11 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- ¼ cup (30 grams, 1.06 ounces) slivered almonds roughly chopped
- 1 ½ cup (150 grams, 5.29 ounces) rice flour
Instructions
For the Cookie dough
- Using a hand mixer, in a medium sized mixing bowl cream the butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and the mixture becomes a pale-yellow color. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Beat through the egg for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract, corn starch, salt, and matcha powder to the butter and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the chopped chocolate chips and almonds and mix through the dough.
- Add the rice flour gradually and mix in well.
- Form the dough into a ball. Weigh out 20 grams (0.71 ounces) pieces of dough and shape into balls. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Gently flatten the balls with the back of a fork or your fingers.
- Once you have divided your dough, place the baking tray in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Making the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Bake cookies for 10 to 15 minutes or until the edges of the cookies just start to change color.
- Remove from oven once cooked and allow to cool completely on the tray.
- Transfer to an airtight container or cookie jar once cool.
