Macha Shortbread

These cookies are sooo unhealthy but oh so nice!  (ofcourse you can always leave out thesprinkled sugar on top)

Ingredients: 

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
½ cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
2 Tbsp macha (Japanese green tea powder)
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 300 F.

In a bowl, whip together butter and sugar with electric mixer until soft and fluffy. 

Add macha (Japanese green tea) and mix until incorporated.

Add flour and cornstarch and mix well together. 

This should form a soft “dough.”

Place dough in 13x9-inch baking pan and spread out in an even layer. 

Sprinkle sugar on the surface as desired. 

Bake for about 40 minutes.

Let cool in pan and cut.
