Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

¾ cup powdered sugar
⅓ cup green tea powder (matcha)
½ teaspoon blue food coloring powder
2 egg whites, at room temperature
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup chopped dark chocolate
6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
⅔ cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Don't use waxed paper.
  • Mix powdered sugar, matcha powder, and food coloring in a medium bowl. Sift mixture into another bowl and set aside.
  • Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl using an electric mixer until medium peaks form. Sprinkle in white sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Mix in the matcha sugar until just combined; no color ribbons should remain.
  • Scoop some batter into a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip. Pipe out 1-inch cookies about 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Let sit until dry, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake cookies in the preheated oven until set, 5 to 10 minutes, watching that they do not brown too much.
  • Place chocolate in a dry glass bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add the melted chocolate and mix in powdered sugar. Sandwich a portion of this ganache filling between pairs of cookies.

I made these cookies with a combination of all-purpose flour and almond flour, and they turned out great! They had a light and airy texture with a slightly nutty flavor. I would definitely recommend trying this variation.

These cookies were a bit too soft for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend baking them for a few minutes longer to help them crisp up.

I made these cookies with white chocolate chips instead of semisweet chocolate chips, and they turned out great! They had a delicious white chocolate flavor and they were still very green. I would definitely recommend trying this variation.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to help prevent them from crumbling.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend adding a little bit of moisture to the batter, such as a tablespoon of milk or cream.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by about 1/4 cup.
