Matcha Green Tea Butter Cookies

These are not really melt-in-mouth types of cookies. I love this with the fact that they are firm enough to hold by my 2 year old son yet soft & crumbly enough for him to bite and melt in their little tongue.

Ingredients :

120g All Purpose Flour (sieved)

5g Matcha Green Tea Powder (sieved)

85g Unsalted Butter

60g Castor Sugar

1pc Egg Yolk

Pinch of Salt

(if you prefer normal butter cookies, just omit the Matcha Green Tea powder & reduce sugar to 50g)

Step by Step:

1. Preheat oven at 175C. (Note to self: I only use 165C)

2. Cream butter till smooth.

3. Add sugar & salt, continue till well blended & butter turn pale in color.

4. Add in egg yolk and mix till well blended.

5. Gradually add in sifted flour & matcha powder and mix till incorporated.

6. Roll cookie dough thinly & use cookie cutter to cut out the cookie. Place them on non stick baking paper.

7. Bake in preheated oven for 15 mins, using fan mode lowest rack.

8. Remove tray from the oven & let cookies cool down on baking sheet for 5 mins before transferring to cooling rack. Alternatively, if you are not using the same tray again, you can just let it cool down entirely on the baking tray.

9. Store in air tight containers.

That little fingers!

Happy Baking..
