Hello, every birdy. Nice to see all of you. I can’t wait to share this recipe with you.
Now onto the character and the recipe.
The Character – Yelan.
Yelan is a character that I like the look of, but I don’t think I am every going to get her. She would be great with Yoiymiya or even Dehya but I just dont think that I would get her. When I first say her I thought she reminded me of Yor Forger from Spy x Family. Just the vibes she was giving off in the Chasm.
The Recipe – Matcha Powder Cookies.
My sister has always loved green tea. One day we found matcha tea, and we knew that it would be on the shelf for a very long time if we didn’t grab it. And she was like “Robyn, can you make me some Matcha cookies?”
As many of you know I don’t back down from a baking challenge. I do my research. I usually try and find a recipe that won’t break that bank. So I found this recipe, and it was the simplest recipe that I could find. And say that with all sincerity. When it comes to baking I love simple recipes that I don’t have to rewrite just to understand it. And yes I have done that before.
About 30 minutes before you are about to bake place your butter/margerine and eggs on the counter so it can get to room temperature. Trust me, you want to do this step. I know that in the past I might have told you that this step is not that important. Oh but it is. If you don’t do this step you are going to have to mix a lot longer. And the consistency just isn’t there.
The first thing that you are going to do is preheat your oven to 350 degrees. You can either line the baking sheet with parchment paper or you can spray it with non-stick spray.
The ingredients that you will are:
1 Stick unsalted butter which is ½ cup (also if you don’t have butter, you can always use margarine. And I will give you a little hint, I only use margarine. And I haven’t heard any complaints yet.)
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 room temperature eggs
3 tbsp matcha (if I made this recipe again I probably would reduce the amount. Always look at the notes bakers have on their blogs. They are usually helpful. I read them afterwards and I am just look “OOOH that is why xyz failed.” So always read the notes.)
And then for the rolling of the cookies you are going to need
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup powdered sugar
And if you want an additional 1 teaspoon of matcha
You are going to cream together your stick of butter with sugar. To this mixture you are going to add in your baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add in the eggs and mix until it all comes together. I like adding in my eggs one at a time so that I know what is going on with the texture.
Now you are going to want to sift the matcha into the flour and pour it into mixing bowl. Sowly mixing so that all of the ingredients are incorporated. And so you don’t have a major green mess you have to clean up.
If you want the extra teaspoon of matcha add it to a plate of powdered sugar and set it to the side.
Using a cookie scoop, or two normal teaspoon spoons scoop the balls into about 1 and ½ tablespoon balls of dough. This measurement relative. Just go with how you are feeling. But let me remind of something important. Matcha has caffeine.
Roll the balls in the granulated sugar and then the match and powdered sugar.
Place them on the baking sheet and bake the for about 11 minutes, or so the recipe says. I am sorry, it is nothing against the recipe author or anything. But when making cookies I always start with 8 minutes, and add time if needed. Because like my mom has said for many years and I am starting to say “ You can always add time you can’t take it away.”
If you like green tea, these cookies are for you. If you had a Shrek themed party you had to make something for real quick this recipe would be perfect. Also you have to remember that Matcha is tea. And it has caffeine! DO NOT EAT THIS AFTER DINNER! I speak fro experience. My gosh, having seven people not being able to sleep because of something you made feels bad.
The results of these cookies is a little half and half. Some people liked them and some of us didn’t like it. It all depends on your thoughts on green tea and the flavor.
Do you like seeing the list of measurements in the post like this? Or doesn’t it make the post longer? Let me know your feedback.
I hope that you liked this recipe. Feel free to check it out for yourself. See you in the next post. Thank you.
