Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds or white chocolate chips (optional)
  • White chocolate or matcha glaze for decorating (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in the sliced almonds or white chocolate chips if using.
  6. Shape the dough into a long log and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until lightly golden and firm.
  8. Cool for 10 minutes, then slice the log diagonally into biscotti.
  9. Arrange the slices cut-side down on the baking sheet and bake for another 10 minutes. Flip and bake for an additional 10 minutes until crisp and lightly golden.
  10. Cool completely before serving or decorating with white chocolate or matcha glaze if desired.
