Time 45m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup white sugar, plus more for topping
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons green tea powder (matcha), or more to taste
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a work surface and dust with flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add 3/4 cup sugar and continue beating until mixture is lighter in color, about 2 minutes more.
  • Mix flour, green tea powder, and salt together in a separate bowl; gradually add to creamed butter mixture, beating on low speed until dough sticks together. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on the floured parchment paper; cut into 2-inch cookies or bars. Roll remaining dough and cut into more cookies until all the dough is used. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle sugar over each cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until firm and barely starting to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.

Time 1h2m

Yield 9 dozen small cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons green tea powder (matcha)
4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Cream butter in the bowl of an electric standing mixer using the paddle attachment; add confectioner's sugar and salt.
  • Sift together the tea and flour and add to the butter mixture; mix until just incorporated.
  • Roll the dough out to about 1/3-inch thick between 2 pieces of plastic wrap; transfer to a baking sheet and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Remove top piece of plastic and cut into desired shapes; re-roll excess dough as necessary; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 16 minutes; rotate pan and bake for another 16 minutes, or until they feel firm when scratched with a fingernail; take care not to let the edges brown; matcha shortbread cookies should maintain their green color.

Yield Makes about 8 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons finely ground Earl Grey tea leaves (from about 4 bags)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, tea, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Put butter, sugar, and orange zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture until just combined.
  • Divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper; shape into logs. Roll in parchment to 1 1/4 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow the log and force out air. Transfer in parchment to paper towel tubes; freeze until firm, 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Space 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment.
  • Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks.
