Green Tea Cookie
Yum, green tea flavored desserts! I wanted to make green tea ice cream, but since it’s winter, I decided to make green tea cookies. They were a hit over the holidays!
I used Matcha Green Tea Powder
which has a sweeter, deeper flavor than other green tea powders. You can buy Almond Meal
or ground your own almonds.
These green tea cookies go well with warm tea or warm milk.
This recipe makes 8 large or 16 small cookies
Ingredients
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter (113 grams)
- 45 grams powdered sugar
- 180 grams cake flour
- (Cake flour preferred, but all-purpose flour works fine)
- 50 grams Almond Meal
- 1 tablespoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
- extra powdered sugar to dust
Things You’ll Need
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put almonds on a piece of foil and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Take almonds out, but leave oven on for the cookie. Finely grind the almonds in a food processor. There can be small pieces. Mix the ground almonds with flour and put aside.
- Mash cold butter in a large mixing bowl until slightly creamy. Using warm butter will cause the texture of the cookie to be cakey. When butter is creamy, add powdered sugar and mix well.
- Add Matcha Powder to the mixture and mix again.
- Add the almond flour mixture and mix until mixture is green and a messy dough forms. Knead the dough for a minute or until clean. Divide the dough into 16 pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
- Put each ball on a cookie sheet over a flat baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes (I bake them for 22 minutes exactly).
