Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a work surface and dust with flour. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add 3/4 cup sugar and continue beating until mixture is lighter in color, about 2 minutes more.
- Mix flour, green tea powder, and salt together in a separate bowl; gradually add to creamed butter mixture, beating on low speed until dough sticks together. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on the floured parchment paper; cut into 2-inch cookies or bars. Roll remaining dough and cut into more cookies until all the dough is used. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer cookies to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle sugar over each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven until firm and barely starting to turn golden, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.

Steps:
- Cream butter in the bowl of an electric standing mixer using the paddle attachment; add confectioner's sugar and salt.
- Sift together the tea and flour and add to the butter mixture; mix until just incorporated.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/3-inch thick between 2 pieces of plastic wrap; transfer to a baking sheet and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 300 degrees.
- Remove top piece of plastic and cut into desired shapes; re-roll excess dough as necessary; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 16 minutes; rotate pan and bake for another 16 minutes, or until they feel firm when scratched with a fingernail; take care not to let the edges brown; matcha shortbread cookies should maintain their green color.
- Cool, and serve with green-tea or ginger ice cream.
Tips:
- Use high-quality green tea leaves or matcha powder for the best flavor.
- Make sure the butter is cold before you start mixing the dough. This will help the cookies keep their shape in the oven.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape even more.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
These green tea shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their delicate green tea flavor and buttery texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
