How to make matcha cookies

First of all, what is matcha?
Matcha is simply, pure high-quality green tea that has been ground into a fine powder.
The nice thing about matcha is that you get all the good nutrients because you eat/drink the whole leaf. Unlike when you brew tea leaves and only ingest what is extracted from the leaves into the water, you therefore drink the leaves when you drink a cup of matcha.
That's why our biscuits are very green! We have made our matcha biscuits with the base as a regular shortbread.
INGREDIENTS
- 300 g flour
- 1-2 tablespoons matcha
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 100 g of sugar
- 225 g butter, room temperature (can also use margarine)
This makes about 12 biscuits.
APPROACH
Feel free to make icing with a teaspoon of matcha and 50/50 lemon/water!
