I have a terrible cold from the rainy weather this week and thought I would have some chocolate tea to make it all better. However tea alone is not enough to do the trick, some Green Tea Shortbread kept me very satisfied and happy.
Green Tea Shortbread
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- 2 Tablespoons Chinese green-tea powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 lb. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, or granulated sugar
Instructions: Sift flour, tea powder and salt into a small bowl; set aside. Place butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium speed until fluffy (3-5 minutes). Add sugar; continue to beat until very light in color and fluffy, about 2 minutes more. Add flour mixture; combine on low, scraping sides of bowl with a spatula if necessary, until flour is incorporated and dough sticks together. Place a piece of parchment on a clean surface; dust with flour. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness; chill in refrigerator or freezer until firm (about 30 minutes). Preheat oven to 325°. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Cut chilled dough with leaf cutters. Bake until barely starting to color (15-20 minutes). Cool completely on wire rack; store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 weeks. Makes 3 dozen.
