Matcha White Chocolate Cookies

-
I love Matcha desserts and I thought I would make some Matcha cookies.

These delicious Matcha White Chocolate Cookies are perfect for any green tea lovers.  They are crispy on the outside with a soft and chewy centre filled with a burst of green tea flavour.  They are perfect for afternoon tea or just a treat.

In keeping with the Halloween fun.  I decided to turn the cookies into cookie monsters.  They are so fun to make and you can decorate them anyway you like to make them scary or cute, of course.

Matcha White Chocolate Cookies 

Ingredients

· 170 grams butter, melted
· 2 cups plain flour
· 1 tablespoon green tea powder
· ½ teaspoon baking soda
· ½ teaspoon salt
· 1 cup brown sugar
· ½ cup sugar
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 1 egg
· 1 egg yolk
· 1 cup white chocolate chips

Decorations

· White chocolate chip buttons
· Mini chocolate chips
· White chocolate (melted)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160°C.

2. Line two baking trays with baking paper.

3. Place brown sugar, sugar and melted butter into a large bowl. Beat using an electric beater until combined. Add vanilla extract, egg and egg yolk and beat until creamy.

4. Sift flour, matcha powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.

5. Place one tablespoonful of cookie dough onto the baking tray. Make sure to leave about 2cm between each cookie.

6. Bake in oven for 8- 10 minutes. Leave on baking tray for 5 minutes before lifting onto a cooling rack.

Decorating

7. Melt some white chocolate over a saucepan of simmering water. Place into a small piping bag.

8. Pipe a small amount of white chocolate onto the white chocolate buttons and place mini chocolate chips to create the eyes of the cookie monsters.

9. Add the chocolate eyes onto the cookies by piping a small amount of melted chocolate first.

10. To create the mummy-look on the cookie monsters, pipe white chocolate across the cookies.

Tips

· Allow biscuits to cool completely before decorating them.

· Melted white chocolate can dry quite quickly. So melt it in small amounts or leave the melted chocolate over the simmering water. Alternately, you could add a small amount of oil or butter to make it a bit runnier and easier to work with.

Coffee Kisses

I made these coffee biscuits awhile ago and thought I would make them again and share this recipe with you.  I'm sure there are many coffee lovers out there. These coffee kisses smell amazing when they are baking in the oven.  The aroma of the coffee biscuits coming out of the oven smells like an Italian cafe. I must say these coffee biscuits are more of an grown up biscuits.  They taste like a shortbread with a hint of coffee and they smell just like coffee. I would recommend making these biscuits when the weather is a bit warmer as the mixture can be a bit firm and hard to pipe out of the piping bag on a cold day. Happy Baking xo Coffee Kisses Ingredients · 250 grams butter, softened · ⅔ cups icing sugar · 2 teaspoons instant coffee · 2 cups plain flour Filling · 45 grams dark chocolate, melted · Icing sugar Instructions 1.

Viennese Biscuits

These Viennese biscuits are often found at bakeries and cafes.  I have often made them by just piping them into round biscuits.  This time I thought I would make the traditional looking Viennese finger biscuits with the ends dipped in chocolate. These buttery melt-in-your-mouth biscuits are so delicious.  They taste even better when the ends of the biscuits are dipped in chocolate and sprinkles added.  You can also sandwich two biscuits together with jam and buttercream. I recommend that you make these biscuits in warmer weather or make sure the butter is at room temperature and quite soft.  This helps to make the mixture easier to pipe onto the baking trays. Happy Baking xo Viennese Biscuits Ingredients · 220 grams butter · ½ cup icing sugar · 1 tablespoon cornflour · 1 cup plain flour · ½ cup self-raising flour Decorations · Sprinkles · Dark chocolate Instructions 1.

Mini Yo-Yos (Melting Moments)

I thought I would share with you all, one of my signature bakes.  The traditional melt-in-the-mouth biscuit known as Yo-Yos.  Yo-Yos are made with custard powder and often people refer to them as Melting Moments.  However, the only difference is that melting moments are made with cornflour instead of custard powder. These biscuits are loved by all as they melt-in-your mouth and they taste so good with the lemony buttercream in the centre.  I love this recipe as it's easy and you can fill the biscuits with any filling you like or you can just eat the biscuits unfilled. If you haven't noticed I like to bake products in mini form or bite size.  I find that everyone loves mini desserts or treats.  You can make 16 full sized Yo-Yos or 32 mini ones. Hope you bake this classic traditional biscuits soon as everyone will love them.  This is a favourite amongst my family and friends.
