INSTRUCTIONS
-
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 green over one white and vice versa.
-
Trim off edges and gently roll dough into a cylinder shape. You should end out with two long dough logs.
-
Place the dough logs in refrigerator for at least an hour.
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment.
-
Take out the dough and slice off ¼ inch cookies. Place the cookies on the parchment lined baking sheets.
-
Bake for 12-14 minutes. Don't over bake! The cookies should not brown at all on top.
-
Place cookies on rack to cool.
