Ingredients

▢ 6.70 oz (190 g) butter (Softened | At Room Temperature)
▢ 2.50 oz (70 g) powdered sugar
▢ 1 (30 g) egg white
▢ 7.95 oz (225 g) all-purpose flour
▢ 1 Tbsp (15 g) matcha powder
▢ 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) vanilla bean paste
▢ 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) sea salt
▢ 22 dark chocolate chips (For "eye" decoration)

Instructions

Place your Large Bonmat on the top of your Large Perforated Baking Sheet. Set Aside.

VANILLA MATCHA COOKIE DOUGH

In a mixing bowl, using your spatula gently cream the butter with the powdered sugar.
Mix in the egg white.
Combine the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, vanilla bean paste and sea salt.
Transfer your dough to a pastry bag. NOTE: Massage it for a minute in order to get the dough warmer: It will be easier to pipe.
Pipe your butter cookies into an oval shape directly onto your Bonmat this will be the face of the frog, then pipe 2 rounds at the top, these will be the eyes.

BAKE!

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Bake for 8 minutes (Every oven heats differently, monitor your butter cookies from 7 minutes). It is ready when they don't look quite done and barely golden around the edge, the top staying soft.
Once your Vanilla Matcha Frog Cookies are out of the oven, place the chocolate chips upside down at the center of the eyes. Let them cool down completely on your baking sheet. Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
N.B. Storage is best when placed in a metal box.
