Matcha Coconut Cookies

 A year later and we're still in a lockdown but the 3rd and I'm still baking cookies.. This variant is Matcha and Coconut!

Ingredients:

112g Unsalted Butter

(Half a block of butter at room temperature)

100g Caster Sugar

110g Soft Brown Sugar

1 Egg

1 tsp Vanilla Extract

158g Plain Flour

1 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda

¼ tsp salt

1 tsp Matcha Powder

100g Desiccated Coconut

Utensils:

Mixing Bowl

Electric Whisk

Wooden Spoon

Measuring Spoons

Scales

2 Smaller Bowls

Fork

Sieve

Cling Film

Knife

Chopping Board

2 Baking Trays

Baking Paper

Oven 180°C / 160°C fan

Baking time 8-10 minutes

Method:

Mix the butter with the 2 sugars with your electric whisk until it turns pale and creamy. Use your wooden spoons to check the consistency.

In a small bowl beat your egg and vanilla extract with a fork.

Then pour that into your mixture and whisk with your electric whisk. Then use your wooden spoon again to check it's well mixed.

Once it has been mixed you can sift in all your dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, matcha and salt. Add your coconut also but it doesn't need to be sifted. You don't need your electric whisk no more - mix with your wooden spoon but try not to over mix it

Once it's all mixed roll out a piece of cling film and put your dough onto it and roll it into a sausage shape securing at both ends. Place into the freezer for 30 mins this will stop the dough from over spreading when baked.

After 30 mins just cut thin pieces and roll the dough into a ball using your hands and place onto your lined baking trays leaving enough space between each one to spread.

Bake between 8-10 minutes depending on your oven. If you want soft cookies bake until the edges have turned golden then take them out and leave them on the tray as they will continue to bake. Then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely. 

These will keep for a few days and if you want that fresh out the oven softness put them in the microwave for about 20 seconds and they will be like freshly baked out the oven!
