Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla flavored)

1/4 cup chocolate chips or white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Dough: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a spatula to cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar. Beat until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color. Add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully integrated.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha green tea powder, baking powder, and salt. Ensure that the ingredients are well incorporated and there are no lumps, especially from the matcha powder.

      Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to combine until a dough forms. If you choose to include chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough at this stage.

        Shape the Disks: On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each ball into a disk shape about 1/4 inch thick. Carefully transfer the disks onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.

          Freeze the Disks: Once all disks are shaped, place the baking sheet in the freezer. Allow the disks to freeze for at least 1 hour, or until they are completely solid.

            Prepare Yogurt Coating: While the cookie disks are freezing, mix the Greek yogurt in a bowl. For added sweetness, incorporate a little sugar or honey, adjusting to your taste preference.

              Coat the Disks: After the cookie disks have frozen, dip each disk into the yogurt mixture. Ensure that each disk is evenly coated and allow any excess yogurt to drip off back into the bowl.

                Final Freeze: Return the coated disks to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place them back in the freezer for at least 1 hour to allow the yogurt coating to set completely.

                  Serve: Once fully frozen, your Frozen Yogurt Matcha Cookie Disks are ready to be served! Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a refreshing and delightful treat.
