Green Tea CookiesA cookie infused with the flavor of delicious green tea!
Yield: Approximately 4 dozen cookies
Ingredients
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
(Matcha can be purchased at oriental markets!)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together
flour, matcha green tea powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat
in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll
dough into balls about one inch in diameter and flatten slightly to create round discs, and place onto ungreased
cookie sheets.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand
on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
