Matcha Mochi Cookie🍪🥰. Flatten the cookie batter out and place the mochi ball inside, bringing the edges over until the mochi is completely covered by cookie batter. Press in chocolate chips / chunks into the cookies. Pull apart that ooey, delicious-ness of mochi, matcha and melted chocolate and enjoy!! Take the hot mochi out from the pot onto a baking tray liberally dusted with cornstarch. I especially like it when they are bite-sized and multi-colored.

I previously made frozen yogurt ice pops with mochi, and now I've made delicious cookies with them. These are similar to my Crispy, Chewy, Matcha Green Tea Cookies but with colorful chewy mochi treats baked right into the cookies. Plus, you can add matcha powder to take these mochi cookies to another level! You can have Matcha Mochi Cookie🍪🥰 using 14 ingredients and 13 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Matcha Mochi Cookie🍪🥰 instructions

Mochi dough : Mix the glutinous rice flour, milk, corn starch and sugar together in non-metal bowl (microwaveable bowl) until all ingredients are well mixed.
Half cover the bowl with a cling film, and heat it up at 800W for 2 min in the microwave oven.
Spoon the mochi out from the bowl with a metal spoon (to prevent sticking). Wrap it in a cling film, let it set aside.
Cookie : Heat butter on a pan in low heat until it turns light brown, stir occasionally. Then leave it to cool in room temperature for 5 mins.
Gently blend the dark brown sugar and white sugar into the melted butter.
Beat the egg and blend it to the butter mixture, then add salt and baking powder, stir to mix.
Add the sifted flour and matcha powder into the mixture, mix it gently until it is fully incorporated.
Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius.
Roll the cookie dough & mochi into 5 individual balls each.
Flatten the cookie dough on your palm then sit the mochi in the middle.
Knead the dough opening until the mochi is secured in the middle and cannot be seen.
Add chocolate chips and sprinkle salt on top, then let the cookies bake for 11 min.
Enjoy the cookies when they are freshly baked🥰.

Didn't love the cookie texture but I'm in love with the mochi favour. Matcha flavored mochi bars, while perhaps not considered traditional Japanese mochi, are nevertheless delicious and addicting. The texture is chewy, gooey, and sweet with a hint of matcha. The matcha flavor of these mochi bars is a result of adding culinary grade matcha powder to the batter. Flatten each matcha cookie dough ball and place a piece of mochi in the centre.
