Method
 

Make the Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and mix until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
Make the Mousse
  1. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar until soft peaks form.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the matcha powder and vanilla extract, then gently fold into the whipped cream.
  3. Stir in the dissolved gelatin until fully incorporated.
Assemble the Cookies
  1. Take one cookie and spread a generous amount of green tea mousse on the flat side.
  2. Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.
  3. Repeat with remaining cookies and mousse. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
