White Chocolate - Dipped Green Tea Shortbread Cookies!!

I love turning my favorite drinks into cookies.  Can you guess what warm delicious drink inspired this shortbread?...If you guessed a Green Tea Latte you are correct! 


White Chocolate - Dipped Green Tea Shortbread Cookies!!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened green tea matcha powder *
  • 4 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
  • 2 cups white chocolate baking chips
* I used a combination of matcha powder and whole leaves.  I love the way the leaves look in dough!
 
PROCESS:
  1. Whisk dry ingredients together in a small bowl.
  2. Using your stand mixer or an electric mixer, beat softened butter until smooth – add extract and dry ingredients. Mix just until the dough is formed.
  3. Divide dough into two disks and wrap them in parchment paper and plastic wrap. Refrigerate approximately 30-45 minutes – just until firm.
  4. Preheat oven to 325F.
  5. Take dough out of the refrigerator and let sit for 5-10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll out dough approximately ¼ “ thick and use desired cookie cutter to cut cookies.  
  6. Place cookies on a parchment lines cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes -- just until edges begin to turn golden brown.
  7. Let cookies cool.
  8. Melt white chocolate on 15 minute intervals. Once chocolate is melted dip cookies in chcolate and place back on parchment lined cookie sheet to set.
