1. 1

   Prepare the matcha mochi: In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, sugar, water, and matcha powder until smooth. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another 1 minute, stir again. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until thick and translucent green, about 2-3 minutes total. Let cool slightly, dust hands with cornstarch, and knead until smooth. Divide into 12 small balls.

   Take a portion of cookie dough, flatten it, place a matcha mochi ball in the center, and wrap the dough around it, ensuring it's fully enclosed. Roll into a ball.
