Matcha Dipped Sables

Method

1. In the mixing bowl of your mixer, combine the sieved icing sugar, vanilla extract, egg yolk, and soft butter in cubes. Stir together until well combined. If you don’t have a mixer, you can use a bowl and a wooden spoon.
2. Sieve the matcha powder over the flour and add it to the mixture. Stir until it forms a firm dough.
3. Leave the dough to rest in the fridge for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C
4. Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of baking paper until you reach the thickness of a £1 coin. Use a cookie cutter or the edge of a glass to cut out the cookies.
5. Place the cut-out cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray. In the meantime, melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
7. Once the cookies are completely cooled, dip each one into the melted dark chocolate, covering one side or half of the cookie.
8. Place the dipped cookies on parchment paper to allow the chocolate to set.
9. Once the chocolate has hardened, your Matcha Sable Dipped in Dark Chocolate is ready to be enjoyed!
