Matcha Baumkuchen Cookies

Overview

These past few days, I have been toiling until very late every day to make these biscuits. My mother said that I have gone crazy, okay, I admit it... This biscuit is specially made with matcha, because my cousin likes anything with matcha flavor, so I made some for her to take home...

  6. Add 5g of matcha powder to a 5g portion of the dough and quickly spread it evenly with your hands. (I didn’t catch it evenly. If I had known better, I wouldn’t have been lazy and kneaded the dough in two steps.)
