Matcha Shortbread cookies

  3. Add the sugar and continue mixing.
  4. While the machine is on low speed, slowly add the flour until it comes together. Gather the dough into a ball. When you are working on cutting the dough, do it in small portion at a time.
  5. Roll out dough to 1/3-inch thickness between two pieces of parchment paper.
  6. Cut out the cookie with a cookie cutter. With a spatula, put the cut-out cookies on parchment-lined baking sheet. Reroll by repeating step 5. Cut out the cookies until the dough is done.
  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
