Servings: cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 gr) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (65 gr) confectioners' sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 gr) cake flour
- 1/4 cup (30 gr) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Toppings
- 1/2-2/3 cup (85-110 gr) white chocolate, melted
- Dried cranberries
- Toasted nuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 340℉/170℃ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Using a mixer or spatula, mix butter and confectioners sugar until combined. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Sift in cake flour, cornstarch, matcha powder, and salt. Mix with a spatula until well incorporated.
- Add your star piping tip to the piping bag. Spoon a little bit of dough into the piping bag and try piping on the prepared baking sheet. If the dough is too thick to pipe, transfer the dough back to the mixing bowl and add 1 tsp of milk. If the dough is creamy enough to pipe, continue piping the dough into swirls, leaving 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 15-17 minutes or until the edges are light brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dip the cookies into the melted white chocolate and put them on the cooling rack. Place 1 dried cranberries and chopped toasted nuts on each cookie.
- Once the white chocolate has hardened, store the cookies in an airtight container.
Notes
Make sure to measure the flour correctly if using volume measurement. The cookies will end up too dry if you add too much flour. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup. Then, level the top with a knife or other straight-edged utensil.
