Baking these cookies is just as fun as receiving them!

The dough is pretty sticky, so be careful!
The baking time and temperature will differ depending on the oven, so keep an eye on them as they bake.
The number of cookies you can make with this recipe will depend of the size of each individual cookie, but I was able to make 8 of the ones in my original photo. Recipe by Kanaden.

Steps

1

Preparation: Sift the cake flour. Bring the butter to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 160℃.
2

Knead the room temperature butter with a wooden spatula until softened.
3

Add the sugar and cream until it becomes white with a smooth cream-like consistency.
4

Add the egg and vanilla essence and mix quickly.
5

It will separate at first, but if you mix it well, it will look like this!
6

Add the sifted cake flour and mix in a cutting motion without kneading.
7

Divide the dough into 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 portions. Mix in the matcha into 1/2 of the dough.
8

Mix cocoa powder into one of the 1/4 portions.
9

Add the cake flour to the remaining 1/4 portion and mix.
10

Roll out the matcha dough with a rolling pin to a 5 mm thickness. If it looks like the dough is going to stick to the surface, dust with cake flour.
11

Cut out the shapes with a round cookie cutter.
12

Stretch the plain dough into a circle and place on the matcha dough.
13

Stretch the chocolate dough into a circle half the size of the plain dough, and place it on top.
14

Use the cocoa dough to create a mouth.
15

Bake for 15-20 minutes in a preheated 160℃ oven and it's done.
