Green tea white chocolate cookies

Because I love chocolate, I always end up making something with it. But the problem is not everyone love chocolate ^^".


My sister don't like the bitterness of dark chocolate but she love white chocolate, so this time I use the sweeter side of the chocolate instead. Green tea is one of my favourite ingredient, the fragrance and lightly bitter taste make it interesting.
I use shortening for this recipe as it has no taste and smell, it lets the green tea shine. White chocolate gives sweetness and texture to this cookie but you can skip it if you don't want more sweetness.

You can see the video of this recipe here:



Note: If you don't want to use dairy product, change milk to soy or almond milk and skip the white chocolate.

Green tea white chocolate cookies 
Makes 9-10 cookies


130g ........................................ All purpose flour
1tsp ......................................... Baking powder
1tbsp ........................................ Green tea powder
1/4tsp ....................................... Salt
80g ........................................... Granulated sugar
80g .......................................... Shortening  (non-hydrogenated shortening)
1 ............................................... Egg
1tbsp ....................................... Milk
1/4tsp ...................................... Vanilla extract 
1/8tsp ...................................... Almond extract (optional)
35g .......................................... White chocolate (chopped if large)



I use this Shortening  (non-hydrogenated shortening).


Preheat an oven to 180C.
Line baking sheet with baking paper or silpat.
Sift the flour, baking powder and green tea powder together.


Beat the shortening until softened, add the sugar, salt and beat to combine.
Add vanilla and almond extract and beat to combine.
Pour the egg into the bowl, beat to combine.


Pour the sifted flour mixture into the bowl, fold to combine.
Pour the white chocolate into the bowl (keep some for decorating the top of the cookie), fold to combine.
Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet with 5 cm scoop, and decorate the top of the cookie with the rest of the white chocolate.


Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet until firm enough to be moved.
Remove from the baking sheet and let the cookie cool on a wire racks.
