Matcha Butter Cookies

I hadn’t planned on baking for a while, but my friend Cory wanted to practice food styling and asked me to make some food for him to photograph. Because the end of summer has been hot and humid in Berkeley, I decided to bake some light, green tea cookies to cool us down.

The recipe is a twist on the classic butter cookie and has a light but firm texture perfect for dipping in milk or tea or enjoying straight from the plate.
