Green Tea Sweets

Baking weekend, just baked some green tea shortbread cookies.

Original recipe from Amai Tea & Bake House.

I used a large egg instead of 3 large egg yolks.

Well, it tastes good and not sweet but has a green tea aroma.

Every one likes green tea will love it!

Honestly, I don't fancy green tea that much, but I have 2 bags of green tea powder from Taiwan.

I only thing use it for baking or making a green tea milk (1/4 tsp green tea powder in a cup of milk).

I think it's great to find some recipes to consume it.

Recipe:

100g icing sugar

150g unsalted butter

290g plain flour

1 large egg

4.5 tsp green tea powder/Matcha

granulated sugar (for coating)

Sieve green tea powder & icing sugar, then mix together.

Add in the butter & whisk until fluffy and light in colour.

Sieve in the flour & mix well.

Add the egg & mix into a smooth dough.

Roll into small sized balls, flatten slightly, & coated with granulated sugar.

Bake at 180'C in preheated oven for 15 min (until golden colour around the edge).

NB: A cookie cutter is used in the original recipe, the dough is flattened and then cooled in a refrigerator for 30 min before cutting with a cookie cutter.

End of my short Easter break in Basildon, I'm going back to London tomorrow.

My revision progress is on the schedule, so not to worry if I can keep on.

As the time approaches the summer, I'm getting to think about the future more often.

Telling myself to STOP thinking & focus on the project & exams.

But I can't stop myself from thinking about it...
