Green Tea Cookies

Saturday, November 29, 2008

Saw this recipe at a blog and have been very tempted with its simple recipe. I've never eaten Green Tea Cookies before and was really excited about trying it out. My excitement could not be contained till tomorrow and immediately after work, I went grocery shopping for Green Tea Powder at Phoon Huat.

I got down to work on the cookies the moment I got home and it was a satisfactory and fun process with all the mixing and cutting with cookie cutters. The final result is a very fragrant cookies with a light lingering tint of green tea. Great cookies that I will definitely make again for Chinese New Year!
