CNY Bakes 2011 - Green Tea Marble Cookies

Very melty, milky and full of green tea flavour. I think a bit too strong, maybe can reduce the green tea powder to 10g.




Recipe adapted from Anncoo:
Ingredients for original dough:
125g Butter
40g Icing sugar
125g Potato starch
80g Plain flour

*Beat butter and icing sugar till fluffy and lighter in color.
*Sift in potato starch and flour, mix to form a soft plain dough and set aside.

Ingredients for green tea dough:
125g Butter
40g Icing sugar
125g Potato starch
15g Green Tea powder
65g Plain flour

*Beat butter and icing sugar till fluffy and lighter in color.
*Sift in potato starch, green tea powder and plain flour, mix to form a soft green tea dough.




1. Divide plain and green tea dough into 4 portions.
2. Roll plain and green tea dough separately into long strips. Using 1 tsp measuring spoon of plain and green tea dough, wrap them around each other with your hand and place on a lined baking tray and gently press dough with your finger. Total weight of each cookie dough is about 10-11g.
3. Bake at preheated oven at 170C for 15 mins.
4. Leave to cool completely and store in airtight container.
