Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1 tsp (4g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp (8ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp (14g) freeze-dried strawberry powder
  • Red or pink food coloring (optional)
  • 2 tsp (5g) culinary grade matcha powder
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide dough evenly into two bowls. In one, fold in strawberry powder and a drop of red/pink food coloring if desired. In the other, fold in matcha powder and a drop of green food coloring if desired.
  7. Gently swirl the two doughs together with a rubber spatula, making 2-3 big folds for a marbled effect.
  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions (about 30g each) onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. For extra marbling, swirl each scoop with a toothpick.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers look just barely cooked.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the dough after adding dry ingredients to keep cookies soft. Chilling the dough for 10 minutes helps if it’s sticky, but is optional. For vibrant marbling, swirl doughs gently and add food coloring if desired. Cookies can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with simple substitutions. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
