# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons hojicha powder (roasted green tea powder)
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, hojicha powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2–3 minutes.
04 - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the butter mixture.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough cookies.
06 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
07 - Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers appear set.
08 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing.
