Servings: persons

For the cookies:
1/2 cup (125 grams) unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons (50 grams) confectioners' sugar
1 1/4 cups (150 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (50 grams) blanched almond meal
3 to 4 teaspoons powdered matcha green tea
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the icing:
4 tablespoons (30 grams) confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons egg white

1
For the cookies, beat the butter until creamy and smooth. Add the other ingredients and combine to make a smooth, soft dough. You can let it rest half an hour, wrapped in plastic, in the fridge if it is a bit too soft.
2
Roll on a lightly floured surface to about 1/3 inch (8 millimeters) thick. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
3
Bake at 325u00b0 F (160u00b0 C) for 15 minutes or until they are still pale (not yet golden) but dry to the touch. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes on the tray before moving to a cooling rack.
4
In the meantime, make the icing by mixing little by the little the egg white into the confectioners' sugar until you have a thick but smooth paste. With the back of a wooden skewer (the flat not the pointy end), decorate the cooled cookies with polka dots. Pop the cookies back in a low oven for 5 minutes to set the icing. Alternatively, you can simply dust with confectioners' sugar and serve. Store cookies in airtight container at room temperature.
