Green Tea Cookies (Eggless)


Wanted to make this cookies for sometime and never trusted any green tea powder on the market as many looks too "greeny" fake to me, come on, how can a wilted leaves remain that bright green?? Only artificial color can do that! Until I come upon this organic 100% green tea powder in Korea, then my chance of making this cookies become my goal after the trip!
This cookies are eggless and using portion of tapioca flour make it very light, and the subtle fragrant of green tea really make it a delightful treat!

No vanilla extract whatsoever is added, so that the tea fragrant can come through!

Ingredients:
180g flour (sifted)
60g corn flour or tapioca flour, or potato starch (sifted)
1 tbsp green tea powder
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
60g icing sugar (reduced sugar)
120g butter
50g roasted chopped almond
some black sesame seed for topping

Easier way to sift the flour is to give it a quick turbo! set aside the dry ingredient
Mix Butter and sugar for 2min/speed4
at speed 2-3, slowly add in all the all dry ingredient and almond
It will looks grumbly, pour out and shape into a ball, gently press with a fork or make whatever shape or top with sesame seeds.
Bake for 13-15min at 160C
