Yoda Green Tea Oreos

Yoda Green Tea Oreos

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon matcha (green tea powder)
pinch of salt
2 teaspoons of lemon zest
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg

ingredients (filling):
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with parchment or silpats.

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, matcha, salt, and lemon zest.

In the bowl of an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until combined. Add the egg.

Slowly add in the flour until it is incorporated. The dough will form quickly, and when it starts to pull away from the bowl, it’s done.

Split the dough into two and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill until you are ready to use.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prep baking sheets with silpats.

Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.

Use your cutter to cut out the shapes and transfer onto the prepped baking sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Let cool on a wire rack. While the cookies are cooling, start the filling.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter while carefully adding the powdered sugar. Add the vanilla and beat until creamy.

Using a piping bag or a spatula, place the filling on the (flat) side of one cookie. Use another cookie to press on top to sandwich.
