It's almost Christmas, and I'm in holiday baking mode. However, I personally don't like sugar cookies and frosting, so I decided to make green tea cookies for my "green," festive cookie contribution. As a chocolate lover, I also spread Nutella on the bottom of each cookie and made them into matcha-Nutella cookie sandwiches. Get creative!
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened green tea powder (matcha)
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla extract
Instructions
Cream together butter and sugar until smooth, then add almond extract. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and matcha and add to the butter mixture. Lightly roll out the dough and shape into 2 discs. Chill the dough for an hour or two in the refrigerator, or until completely firm.
When ready, roll out the dough to desired thickness (~1/8 inch) on a floured board. Cut with cookie cutters into desired shape. Arrange on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Bake in a preheated 325°F oven for about 15 minutes for smaller cookies, or until lightly golden at the edges.
