绿茶咖啡牛油脆饼 Matcha and Coffee Butter Cookies

前天交了功课後便想等到下个星期才上新帖子，但虚荣心作祟，因为今天是我的牛一，想得到朋友们的祝福，贺我身体健康和年年十八岁，所以又再上了，哈哈！

After posting the Singapore Trip in 2 days ago, I wasn’t planning to update my blog until next week but today is my birthday, since there is no celebration with my family, I think I should at least let my friends know so I can receive some good birthday wishes from them, hehehe!

生日不切蛋糕而跑去做年饼，多得这红到爆炸的牛油脆饼，就连身在几千公里外的我都可以感到它那股震撼力和魅力！只需四种主要的食材，就能做出这香脆可口的牛油饼乾，在这里要多谢<蓝色小厨>的分享和朋友们的推荐。

This Butter Cookies have become very popular  lately, so I can’t wait to try out myself.  With just 4 main ingredients and 5 simple steps, you can enjoy this full of buttery flavour cookies.  Thanks to <Blue Little Kitchen> who shares the recipe with us.

在原味的饼乾里各加了半茶匙的咖啡精和绿茶粉，为饼乾添加了一些色彩但味道还是被浓浓的牛油味盖过了。

I added some matcha powder and coffee essence to enhance the cookies’ colour. In regard of the taste, the butter has somehow covered the taste of the matcha and coffee.

Matcha and Coffee Butter Cookies

Recipe Source: 蓝色小厨@Blue Little Kitchen

(Makes about 36 small cookies)

Ingredients:

100g Butter, soften at room temperature

25g Icing Sugar, sifted

75g High Gluten Flour, sifted

25g Good Quality Rice Flour, sifted (I used “在来米粉” which was given by Myme)

½ tsp Matcha Powder, optional

½ tsp Coffee Essence, optional

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 150C.

2. Beat butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy.

3. In a separate bowl, place in the high gluten and rice flour. Mix to combine. Add the flour into (2) and stir gently with an egg whisk until just combined.

4. Divide (3) into 2 equal portions, add matcha powder in 1 portion of the cookie batter and coffee essence in the other portion of the cookie batter. Again, stir gently until combined.
PS: For stronger flavour, use more matcha powder and coffee essence!

5. Pipe out the cookie batter onto 2 greased and lined baking trays and bake for about 20 minutes or until cooked.

一个普通的盒子稍为装饰一下便变成美美的。
