2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon corn starch

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 Tablespoon chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, matcha powder, sugar, and salt.

Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in 2/3 cup half-and-half and vanilla extract until just moistened.

Gently fold in chocolate chips.

On a lightly floured surface, knead dough gently 5 to 10 times.

Pat into a 1-inch-thick round.

Cut into 8 wedges; place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, 2-inches apart.

Brush tops with 1 Tbsp half-and-half, sprinkle each with sugar.

Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

Let cool on wire rack.
