Matcha Green Tea Sugar Cookies
So my love affair with pandan has died down a bit. While I still enjoy the taste of pandan in my desserts, when I eat too much of it, it does make me feel a little sick. Matcha on the other hand, I don't seem to ever get sick of. I think because matcha powder isn't sweet by itself and is slightly bitter. After making soft rolled sugar cookies for Boyfriend, I decided to make some matcha green tea ones for myself.
I really need to get some more cookie cutter shapes. Other than some Christmas ones, I only have hearts and stars. Since I already used hearts for the regular sugar cookies, I used stars this time. These cookies were small and cute and taste great with a cup of tea.

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, shortening and sugar. Stir
