GREEN TEA COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, tea, matcha, and salt in a small bowl. Cream together butter and sugar in a mixer bowl on medium until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. On low, slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined.
• Divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper; shape into logs 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Roll each log in parchment, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow log and force out air. Freeze 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap frozen logs and slice 1/4 inch thick. Place an inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges turn golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets on wire racks.

VEGAN MATCHA ALMOND THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the egg replacer and water and set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat the almond paste, agave nectar, and Earth Balance until creamy. Add the extracts and the egg replacer mixture and continue beating. Stir in the flour and salt to create a soft dough.
• Using a teaspoon, create small balls of cookie dough and drop them on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving plenty of room between cookies. Push your thumb down into each cookie to create an imprint. Bake for 15 minutes, until the edges begin to harden. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool.
• For the frosting, mix the matcha powder with the creamer in a small bowl to create a paste. In a medium bowl, beat the Earth Balance briefly and scrape the bowl. Add the powdered sugar and matcha paste, and beat again until smooth. Once the cookies have cooled, use a teaspoon to scoop some matcha frosting into each thumbprint.
