## Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 325°F. Butter an 8 by 8-inch baking pan and line with parchment.
2. Whisk the flour, cornstarch, matcha, and salt in a bowl.
3. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the dry ingredients and mix to combine without overmixing.
4. Transfer the batter to the pan and press firmly and evenly. Using a paring knife, make  
incisions for the bars in squares or rectangles. Prick with a fork.
5. Bake until golden at the edges, about 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then  
remove and cool completely. Break into squares. Sprinkle with sieved matcha and a few pinches  
of Matcha Salt. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
