Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened butter and 0.75 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add 1 egg yolk and beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon matcha powder, and 0.25 teaspoon salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Step 5
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on prepared sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork.
Step 6
Bake until edges are lightly golden, 12-15 minutes. Cool on sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
