Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
