Matcha Kekse
1 portion = 1 cookie

Ingredients

  • 140 g butter
  • 250 g flour
  • 70 g sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • 1 egg
  • 12-15 g Matcha (1 tsp = 2.5 g)
  • A pinch of salt

Method

  1. Place the softened butter and sugar in a bowl and beat until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
  2. Sift the matcha powder and flour into the butter-sugar mixture to avoid lumps. Add a pinch of salt and, if desired, the ground almonds or chopped pistachios and knead the dough until it is nice and smooth.
  3. Form the dough into a roll about 4 cm in diameter, wrap it in cling film and place it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the oven to 170 °C top/bottom heat. Cut the chilled dough roll into slices about 1 cm thick and place the cookies on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown. After baking, let them cool briefly on the baking sheet and then transfer them to a rack.
  6. Enjoy the Matcha cookies as a little specialty with tea.
Good to know

Suitable Matcha:For Matcha cookies, the Organic Classic Matcha particularly good.

Caramel note:Replace the sugar with cane sugar for a light caramel sweetness and a slightly crunchier texture.

Nutty Kick:For additional flavor, you can add 30 g of ground almonds or chopped pistachios to the dough. This provides a subtle nutty note that goes well with the matcha.

Delicate texture:If you want the cookies to be extra tender, leave them in the oven for a shorter time and don't use an egg if you want a more crumbly texture.

Storage:In an airtight container, the cookies will stay fresh and crispy for up to a week.
