Matcha Shortbread Cookies


Ingredients:

112 g. unsalted butter (softened)

30 g. granulated sugar (plus more for sprinkling)

160 g. plain flour (sifted)

2 tbsp. Matcha Powder (sifted)

A dash of salt


Methods:

  1. Using a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, matcha powder and salt, gradually add to butter mixture.
  3. Gather and press the dough into a flattened disk, and chill until firm for about 2 hours.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 165 degree Celsius and line baking sheet.
  5. Roll out dough to 1/4" thickness on a lightly floured work surface.  Cut with a 2" round cutter.  Place cookies on a prepared baking sheet.  Gather and re- roll any scraps.
  6. Sprinkle cookies with sugar, tapping gently so that the sugar sticks.  Bake for 18-22 minutes until cookies are dry and firm.  
  7. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Keep them in airtight cookie jars or containers.
I adapted this recipe from 'Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking" by Gemma Stafford with a slight adjustment to suit my baking preference.
