These matcha (green tea) cookies are perfect for a lazy afternoon, or just munched on throughout the day, like Herman does. The recipe was adapted from Lovescool. After the first try of following the recipe exactly, I forgo the granulated sugar coating and added a little more butter to make these, and they came out just right. The amount of matcha to add does highly depend on the brand you use.
By the way, the teddy bear shape is cute huh? I splurged on a bunch of cookie cutters at Tokyu Hands when we were in Japan last Fall. These cookies were made using Boris the Bear cookie cutter from the Miffy set. You know Boris, Miffy's friend.

Looking back...
Just posted a bunch of desserts and sweets I have made in the past year or so. Will definitely be making more and posting as I go from now, so stay tuned! Matcha cookies are coming up next.
Chocolate Coated Orange Madeleines
This was my 2nd attempt at making madeleines, and they finally turned out right, with a moist cake-like center, and a nice contrast of flavors between the dark chocolate and orange zest.
Banana Nut Muffin with Streusel Topping
These home-made banana nut muffins were made to celebrate the grand opening of Anna's new print shop. The pecan streusel topping gave the muffins some extra yummy goodness.
Chocolate Dipped Shortbread
Made these buttery treats for Herman to take to a photography seminar he was attending, so that he had something to snack on.
