Matcha Cookies

Overview

The matcha puff pastry I made last time, although the layers are not very clear, the faint green circles and the faint fresh aroma of matcha are very attractive! I tried making matcha cookies this time. When I squeezed the cookies, the color was dark green, but I didn’t know if they would look this good after baking! The color is a little lighter after it comes out of the oven, but it's still the color I like. The fresh aroma of matcha covers the rich milky aroma of butter. Friends who don’t like the smell of butter may wish to give it a try!
