Matcha Cookies

Ingredients (about 15 cookies):

110 grams (1 stick or 8 tbs) unsalted butter at room temperature

60 grams powdered sugar

150 grams flour

10 grams matcha powder

Pinch of salt

50 grams roasted hazelnuts

80 grams white chocolate chips or crushed white chocolate

Directions:

1. Place the butter and sugar in a bowl and mix until light and fluffy.

2. Combine the flour, matcha powder and salt in a separate bowl, then sift it into the bowl with butter and mix well. Add the hazelnuts and white chocolate chips, then mix lightly.

3. Wrap the cookie dough with plastic wrap and form cylindrical shapes 4 centimeters in diameter and about 15 centimeters long. Refrigerate for at least an hour or overnight. (The dough keeps well in the freezer for up to a month.)

4. Preheat the oven to 180 C with a baking tray inside. Line the tray with baking sheets. Cut the dough into 1-centimeter-thick pieces, then place them on the sheets. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool them on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
