Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp matcha powder

- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
