Egg White Wash

Brush the cookie tops with lightly beaten egg white before baking to create a shiny and attractive finish. The egg white wash gives the matcha butter cookies a professional touch and enhances their visual appeal.

Lemon Zest

Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough to elevate the flavor profile with a refreshing citrus note. The citrusy tang complements the matcha's earthy taste and adds a delightful twist to the cookies.

Butter Extract

Enhance the buttery taste by incorporating a drop or two of butter extract into the dough. This addition intensifies the cookie's rich flavor without adding extra fat or calories.
