Step by Step Method
Step 1
Sift together the all purpose flour, matcha powder and salt.
Step 2
With an electric mixer at medium speed, cream the butter and powdered sugar until fluffy.
Step 3
Lower the mixer speed. Add in sifted ingredients 1 tablespoon at a time until dough is formed.
Step 4
Add in the sliced almond in 3 batches and stop the mixer immediately once all combined.
Step 5
Remove the dough and place on a 22 inches long plastic wrap. Roll the dough into a 1 1/2 inches thick log. Wrap the log with the plastic wrap and freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Pre-heat the oven to 325 degree Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment papers.
Step 7
Remove the dough from the freezer. Use a sharp knife and cut the dough 1/4 inch thick each. Arrange the cookie dough on the baking pan 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake them for 14-16 minutes on the middle rack. Remove the cookies to wire rack to cool completely before storing in air tight containers.
