Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare your workspace—line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Preheat your refrigerator.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, salt, and ceremonial-grade matcha powder in a large mixing bowl.
  3. In a stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter until smooth, then gradually add sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Slowly add egg yolks, vanilla extract, and whole milk to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Gradually incorporate the sifted dry mixture in two parts, mixing until just combined.
  6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe 2-inch shapes onto the prepared baking sheet. Chill for 1 hour.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
