This cookie recipe involves mixing softened butter with sugar, then incorporating matcha powder and chopped strawberries into the dough. The dough is shaped and baked until just set, resulting in tender cookies with a vibrant appearance and a delicate, crumbly texture. The final cookies showcase bright green and red swirls, with a slightly cracked surface and an aromatic, earthy scent.
