Today we will be trying the matcha almond cookie recipe from the Rasamalaysia blog we found here, edited in sight of Valentine's day :)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed powdered sugar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds, lightly chopped
- Writing icing for decoration (optional)
Method:
1. Sift together the all purpose flour, matcha powder and salt.
3. Lower the mixer speed. Add in sifted ingredients 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is formed.
4. Add in the sliced almond in 3 batches and stop the mixer immediately once all combined.
5. Remove the dough and place on a 22 inches long plastic wrap. Roll the dough into a 1 1/2 inches thick log. Wrap the log with the plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
6. Pre-heat the oven to 325 degree Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment papers.
Remove the dough from the freezer. Use a sharp knife and cut the dough 1/4 inch thick each. Arrange the cookie dough on the baking pan 2 inches apart.
7. Bake them for 14-16 minutes on the middle rack. Remove the cookies to wire rack to cool completely before storing in air tight containers.
8. Now time for some fun!
9. Decorate cookies as desired! Though they will taste fine by themselves if not even better!
Happy Valentine's Day! :) Hope you all enjoy today spending time with your loved ones!
N.B. The original blog from which we found the recipe specified to use an electric whisk to mix the ingredients together. As we didn't have an electric whisk we mixed everything by hand and still achieved the desired outcome, so basically don't worry if you don't have an electric whisk at hand! However, we would advise that you measure your ingredients properly as through estimation we added too much butter and sugar into our mixture. The cookies still tasted delicious but if you don't like your cookies really sweet measure properly!!
