Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tbs matcha powder

Instruction

  • Cream together the butter and sugar in large mixing bowl.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and mix well.
  • Take out about half the dough, ball it up. wrap in plastic wrap and put aside.
  • Add the matcha powder to dough remaining in bowl, and mix until color is thoroughly blended.
  • Ball this dough up, and wrap, as well. Refrigerate the dough for about 15-20 minutes, just enough to stiffen it a little.
  • Divide each ball in half then roll out into long rectangle. Tuck edges in as they crack, helping the dough to obtaining a relatively uniform shape.
  • Lay one white over one green and vice versa.
  • Trim off edges. And gently roll like a cigar (plastic wrap can be helpful in doing this). You will end out with two long dough logs.
  • Place the dough logs in refrigerator for at least an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Take out the dough, and slice off 1/4 inch cookies. Place the cookies on parchment lined baking sheets.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. Pay close attention after about 10 minutes, we don't want these cookies to brown at all on tops.
  • Place cookies on racks.to cool.
