By A Nyonya's Kitchen...for all seasons (Visit website)

(1.00/5 - 1 vote)


Here's my early 3-in-1 Christmas cheer to share in anticipation of the festive celebration which is just around the corner. A nice green tea/matcha cookie recipe, an easy-and-cheap-to-do Christmas gift tag and 2 Christmas prezzies as giveaways!

First up, is the cookie. If you often find yourself making the same types of Christmas cookies year after year, here's something different you might want to consider making.

Green Tea With Red Bean & Pecan Cookies

Ingredients:
A: 160g butter; 10g vanilla essence; 100g icing sugar; 5g green tea powder; 3g green tea paste
B: 1 egg
C: 210g plain flour; 40g cornflour; 3g baking soda
D: 180g toasted crushed pecan; 150g golden syrup; 10g vanilla essence; 100g cooked red beans (wash & boil in 4 cups water till the beans are soft, then strain and discard the water)
E: Icing sugar for dusting

- Cream A till light & fluffy
- Add B and continue creaming till combined
- Sift C and add to the above mixture. Mix thoroughly with a spatula till it becomes a dough.
- Mix, stir well all ingredients in D together.
- Take approximately 1.5 tablespoon of the cookie dough, shape into a ball with the palm of your hands and flatten it. Fill the center with 1 teaspoon of the red bean & pecan filling, then fold in the sides of the dough to close it up. Shape it round and flatten with your hands.
- Place onto greased oven tray. Bake at 150-160 deg C for 30 minutes or till slightly golden brown.
