Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup Mochi Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Thai Tea Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar (for coating)
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Measure all ingredients. Sift the mochi flour, Thai tea powder, baking powder, and powdered sugar to remove lumps and evenly distribute the powders.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy and light in color to create a smooth, aerated base.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined, resulting in a smooth, glossy batter ready for dry ingredients.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the sifted mochi flour, Thai tea powder, and baking powder into the wet mixture until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  5. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up and enhance texture.
  6. Shape and Coat: Scoop small portions of dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar to prepare for baking.
  7. Bake: Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each. Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 12-15 minutes until edges are set but centers remain chewy.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy the unique chewiness and vibrant Thai tea flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh Thai tea powder for the most vibrant flavor and color.
  • Mix dough just until combined to avoid dense cookies.
  • Chilling the dough helps maintain shape and creates beautiful crinkles.
  • Watch baking time closely; slight underbaking keeps cookies chewy and moist.
  • Roll dough balls generously in powdered sugar for the iconic crinkle effect and added sweetness.
