Matcha/Earl Grey Tea Sugar Cookies
Image by Smaku
The other day I was in the mood for some basic sugar cookies. I looked online for a recipe with a twist and found Apartment Therapy’s Earl Grey Tea Cookies.
These are simple to make, yet beautifully flavoured to make your sunday morning that much lazier. Try it yourself; you can substitute the earl grey tea for practically any other powder flavour of your choice. I used about 2 teaspoons of green tea powder to make some light tasting matcha cookies.
Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup icing sugar/confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon Earl Grea tea leaves – open up a teabag and the leaves in there can suffice as well
1/4 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp water
1/2 cup unsalted butter
Recipe
1) Mix flour, baking powder, green tea powder/earl grey tea, salt together in food processor to pulverize the tea leaves. If using a teabag, the leaves may be small enough so simply mix well.
2) Cut butter in small pieces. Add butter, vanilla, and water to the food processor and pulse until a soft dough is formed.
3a) Lightly flour a clean surface and a rolling pin – use some more icing sugar if you don’t want the flour to further firm the dough.
Roll the dough to about 1cm thick. Use your favourite cookie cutter to make different cookie shapes.
3b) Alternately, form the dough into a roll or square log. Wrap with plastic and put in refrigerator for about 30min. to make the dough firmer.
3c) After it’s chilled, cut the log into about 1cm pieces. If you have a cookie stamp like in the photo above, brand your cookie!
4) Bake in oven at 375F for about 10-12min.
5) Enjoy!

Hey Taku,
Looks like you’re back in the kitchen (and by the looks of the incomplete recipe probably really enjoying those cookies!). Your cutters are cute. It’s a real "awwww" moment.

LikeDislikeSifu, lol… you beat me to it. I was in the middle of writing the writeup at that time. The cookie cutters are all actually from Japan. HN brought them for me. I have a few more too, that I’ll have to use some other time.

LikeDislikeOooh, so did you buy the cookie stamp from the same store as I did? A few people were asking me about it.

LikeDislikeI did, actually. I found the info. on your site and went there before xmas. It was an interesting store with lots of small knick knacks. Two Japanese girls manned the register, which I wasn’t expecting. I asked if the two of them owned the store and they both looked at me strangely and said there was another owner. Am I really that scary? lol…
