Yield 3 doz cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups a-p flour
2 tbsp matcha green tea powder
1/4 tsp salt
250 gr unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup icing sugar
berry sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Sift flour, tea powder & salt in small bowl. Set aside. Cream butter w/electric mixer until light & fluffy, 3-5 mins. Add icing sugar and continue to beat about 2 more minutes, scraping sides w/spatual as needed. Turn mixer off and use wooden spoon to incorporate flour mixture until nicely combined, w/no flour bits showing. Result, soft, green dough. Chill 30 mins. Roll dough to 1/4-1/2" on lightly floured counter. Use cookie cutters to make shapes - theirs was leaf shape using knife to draw leaf 'veins'. Line 2 cookie sheets w/parchment, transfer shapes to sheets and chill in freezer 10 mins. Oven to 325. Bake 10-12 mins on centre rack, rotating after 5 mins. Cool on rack, sprinkle w/sugar. Will keep up to 3 weeks in airtight container.
