Method
Make the Cookie Dough
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, lime juice, and lime zest until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Bake the Cookies
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add the lime juice and matcha powder, mixing until well combined and smooth.
Frost the Cookies
- Once the cookies have cooled, spread a layer of the matcha lime frosting on top of each cookie.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of matcha powder or lime zest for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes
For a more intense lime flavor, consider adding a little more lime zest to the cookie dough or frosting. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
