How to Make Green Tea (Matcha) Cookies!!

 How to make Green tea cookies by Stylesuzi.

Here is the recipe and instructions!
Before your start, turn on your oven to 180°

To begin with you will need:


One egg yolk
250g unsalted butter (room temperature)
One tablespoon of Vanilla essence
350g Plain flour
100g icing sugar
2.5 tablespoons of green tea (matcha) powder


Kitchen utensils:

Scales
Electric Whisk
Rolling Pin & Board
Large empty bowl
Spatula
Sieve
Cutters, I used heart shapes

1. Measure out all your ingredients, this will make it easier along the way as everything will be ready, no stopping to measure etc..


2. Dice the butter, keep the pieces quite small. This will make it easier to mix

3. Sieve the icing sugar into the butter, do not think about not using a sieve! We want smooth flow, no lumps and bump

4. Turn on the electric whisk and whisk away until mixture is light and fluffy


5. Add in the egg yolk, the vanilla essence and green tea powder


6. Whisk away until its all blended, light and fluffy

7. Now sieve in the flour and whisk away, you may have to use your hands to knead the mixture at a later stage when your whisk cannot handle the thick dough!


8. Next, flour your rolling pin and board. This will stop the mixture sticking to these surfaces!

9. Take some mixture and knead it, then roll it into a ball like so...

10. Using your pin, roll it out and proceed to cut out the shapes!


11. Once cut, place onto a baking tray and bake for 10-11mins (keep checking on them) and walla! nice fresh, ready to eat green tea cookies. Remember to let them cool on the tray for at least 10mins.

These are great for presents, handmade and wrapped with love!

Happy Baking!!
