Matcha Christmas Cookie Recipe  

Ingredients 

-240 g all-purpose plain flour 

-15 g (2 ½ Tbsp) matcha green tea powder 

-170 g unsalted butter (softened but not melted)

-130 g confectioners sugar/powder sugar 

- 1 pinch salt 

-2 large egg yolks

2) Use a mixer to mix unsalted butter until smooth and creamy. 

3) Add powder sugar and blend until soft and light. 

4) Add 2 large egg yolks and mix well until combined.

5) Gradually add the flour, salt and matcha green tea powder mix and blend until the dough is smooth.

6) Wrap the dough into cling film and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

8) Place your cookies on a baking sheet, leaving about 1” (2.5 cm) between each cookie.
