Green tea cookies

Of the three desserts I made for our block party last month, these were hands down, the favorite. Nary a cookies was left after the first hour and I saw a few adults sneaking 2-3 cookies each. They are a simple butter sable with green tea powder added and it is like green tea ice cream in a cookie format. As usual my recipe is straight from Food and Wine.

flour, sugar, butter, salt, soda, and matcha

cream your butter

then add your sugar and blend

add in green tea powder (it is very powdery so be aware)

then blend in salt, soda, and flour

wrap in a ball and refrigerate until chilled

roll out dough on floured surface

cut into fun shapes

and bake until the edges just start to brown

eat with friends

Delicious!
