Afternoon Tea & Matcha Cookies

In general, I love matcha. It has a mellow flavor with a slight bitter undertone which makes it a suitable ingredient for beverages and desserts. Although I'm not much of a baker, I decided to try making these matcha shortbread cookies courtesy of Clotilde's recipe at Chocolate&Zucchini. Her dessert recipes are fantastic since she tends to dial down the amount of sugar she uses. I've made them twice already, in fact.

I paired a few cookies with some sweetened Thai tea for a lazy saturday afternoon...
