The classic swiss Christmas cookies 'Mailänderli' gets an update and turns green. The Matcha powder adds an interesting slight bitter dimension to the otherwise sweet and buttery cookie. Matcha acts as a natural food coloring element and makes the form cutting a lot more fun. Get all of your favorite forms out and enjoy an afternoon of Christmas fun.
Optional you can also cover the cookies after with a matcha-white chocolate mixture. For that melt some white chocolate in a waterbed and add a bit of powder and mix it well so no clumps are left. Once the cookies are ready and cool, dip them top first into the molten chocolate and let them sit again until the chocolate is hardened. Enjoy!
