How to Make Green Tea Almond Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the contents of two (2) green tea bags (about 2 teaspoons). Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or honey) until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
  7. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Press a slivered almond into the center of each cookie.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
