1
Bring cake margarine to room temperature.
-
2
Measure all ingredients.
-
3
Combine ingredients (flour, matcha, salt) and sift.
-
4
Put the margarine, now at room temperature, into a bowl and knead until it's slightly soft.
-
5
Add all of the granulated sugar into the bowl from step 2.
-
6
Mix well until everything turns white.
-
7
Now using a spatula, add all sifted ingredients into the bowl.
-
8
Mix roughly.
-
9
If you mash the margarine as you mix, you'll get a nice result.
-
10
When the dough looks like this, make one huge chunk and divide into 2 or 3 portions (roughly).
-
11
Put the dough onto a plastic wrap and shape into square sticks about 3cm in width.
-
12
Place on a flat container if possible, and freeze for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to harden.
-
13
Slice into 1cm thickness.
-
14
When it's hard and frozen, it will break apart when you cut.
-
15
Set aside in room temperature for a while for a better result.
-
16
Align on a baking pan aligned with parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes in a 180C preheated oven.
-
17
Make sure to leave enough space because it will raise.
-
18
Let it cool on the baking pan.
-
19
Caution: Make sure not to burn it because that will destroy the aroma of matcha.

Update: You can also sprinkle granulated sugar (unlisted) on the dough before you bake.
-
21
It becomes nice and crunchy when it's baked.
-
22
You can also add tea leaves like Western tea cookies.

If you want texture, chop up the leaves.

Also try with black tea and houjicha roasted tea.

Here's how it looks like when you sprinkle granulated sugar.

Also with green tea leaves.

The tea leaves are actually inconspicuous, but add to the aroma.

He loves matcha, just like me!
