Simple Cookies with Rice Flour and Green Teea
- 200 grams Rice flour
- 100 grams Salted butter
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 1 Egg (medium)
- 1 tbsp Matcha
- 1 dash Vanilla oil
- Let the butter and egg return to room temperature.
- Sift together the rice flour and matcha.
- Cream the butter with a whisk.
- Add in the sugar in 4 batches whilst continuing to whisk until the mixture is fluffy, then add the egg in 3 batches.
- Add the vanilla oil into the mixture from Step 2.
- Then add in the rice flour and matcha mixture in 4 batches, folding in with a rubber spatula after each addition.
- Dust a flat surface with flour and turn the dough out onto it.
- Dust the surface of the dough as well and roll out with a rolling pin until the dough is about 3 mm thick.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and leave to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Use a cutter to cut out leaf shapes.
- If the dough becomes a bit too soft, put it back in the fridge for a while.
- When you push the dough out of the mold, make sure to clean any leftover dough.
- If you dust the inside of the cutter with flour, the cookies will come out cleanly every time.
- Line the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving plenty of space in between.
- Draw a leaf pattern on each cookie with a paring knife.
- Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes in an oven preheated to 160C.
- Once they're cool enough to touch, transfer the cookie to a wire rack and leave to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
- How to make your own cookie cutter Cut out the side of a butter box, keeping one of the corners intact (marked with red in the photo), and fold in half (along the blue line).
- Make a leaf shape and fold the corner back over.
- Staple the overlapping part twice to secure.
- Butter boxes are quite thick so you can easily make 50 cookies with this cutter without it breaking.
- Don't cut with the side you cut with scissors, use the side with the original edge.
- I used fine rice flour for this recipe which can be found in the baking corners of most supermarkets.
