Matcha Cookie Recipe

Today's dessert is matcha cookie.

I baked matcha cookies. These colors are very beautiful, are not they?
Matcha cookie is mild sweet, and so you can eat a lot.  :-)
Because matcha is very good for the body, this is very healthy Japanese dessert.
A secret of good matcha cookie is using drinking matcha which is superior to matcha for sweet making.  If you use drinking matcha, the matcha cookie gets pronounced matcha flavor.

[Ingredient] for 18 cookies

• Matcha                  1 tablespoon (1/2 oz)
• Butter                    75g
• Powdered sugar     50g
• Cake flour             100g
• Egg                        1/4
• Powdered sugar (for decoration)

[How to make]

1. Put and mix matcha and powdered sugar in a bowl. Please Mix Matcha and powdered sugar well until Matcha cakes disappear.
2. Put butter in a bowl and Stir it until creamy. Sift "1" into it and mix them.
3. Add egg in two parts in "2". And stir it until smooth and creamy.
4. Put cake flour in "3" and cut in (stir up) it with spatula. Be careful not to knead it at this time.
5. Press the cookie dough ("4") against the bowl wall with the flat part of the spatula and mash it but not aerated.  This process is used to mash it while pushing air out of the cookie dough. 
6. Flatten out the cookie dough. And wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate on overnight.
7. Take out the cookie dough from the refrigerator. Divide it into three parts. Pile up three parts and knead it until soft. And shape the dough into a stick.
8. Reshape "7" and wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for more than two hours.

10. Cut the cookie dough into cookies whose thickness is 5mm. Arrange the cookies on the baking sheet. And bake them in an oven at 180 degrees C for about 13-15 minutes.
