Cookies
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 200 g butter salted
- 280 g plain flour
- 20 g matcha powder
- 55 white chocolate buttons
Glaze Drizzle
- 120 g icing sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoon hot water
Preheat the oven to 175°Celsius.
Line baking trays with parchment paper.
Place butter and sugar in a medium sized bowl and beat until creamy.
Sift in the flour and matcha powder.
Mix with a spatula until the dough appears crumbly.
Turn the dough onto a clean workspace and knead to bring it together into a ball. You can also mix the cookie dough with a cake mixer.
Roll the dough in between 2 parchment sheets to the desired thickness. Cut with a flower shaped cookie cutter and place the cookies onto the lined baking tray. Press a white chocolate button into the center of each cookie.
Bake the cookies for 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool them on a wire rack before decorating with the glaze drizzle.
To make the glaze icing, sift the icing sugar to break lumps. Add hot water and mix until it becomes a smooth paste.
Transfer the glaze icing into a piping bag. Snip a tiny hole at the tip and drizzle the icing onto each cookie in a zig-zag pattern. Let the icing set completely before storing the white chocolate matcha cookies.
