Matcha Shortbread Cookies
Matcha Shortbread CookiesIf you enjoy traditional shortbread cookies, then you’re going to love these matcha shortbread cookies! Making these calming cookies requires a little patience, because you have to chill the dough. If you’re tempted to skip this step, don’t! Chilling the dough not only intensifies the matcha flavor, it also prevents the butter from melting too fast so the cookies can retain their circular shape. The end result is a crisp and buttery shortbread cookie that pairs well with a matcha latte—or enjoy them on their own when you need a little brain boost.
