At first, I was thinking to make Matcha Dragon Cookies for my 1st post of Chinese New Year cookies. Since this year is a Snake year, so thinking to add matcha to become green and look like snake skin colour.
Due to i added too much of matcha powder, it was hard to pipe out the dragon shape. So i tried to roll into small rod and shape it like dragon, but it became look like snake, LOL ! Anyway, i decided to cut it using flower shape cutter, because I scare the snake shape (one of the animal that i scare the most !!) hahaha..
I also decided to add some dried cranberries to enhance the taste.
Anyway, this cookie turned out not bad though, very strong green tea aroma with slighly bitter taste and tasted not over sweet..Adults might like this cookie..

I'm here for your matcha cranberry cookies. Looks like it wasn't easy to get the final bakes out of the oven, had to change for so many times but I think I still prefer the flower shape than the snake, haha!
everyone on new year mood now, yeah !

Snake or flower doesn't matter la, yummy can already! Hopefully I can submit a post I this NY event of your by weekend. ;))
Sonie,
我本人觉得吼！抹茶总是蛮欺负別人吃的。。但看见你家这抺茶蔓越莓饼干就冲动想做起来。也想参考游戏~但自己又有接到蛮多年饼订单，所以有空上来只能看看不能行动尝试的漂亮饼干。
I love matcha... how funny the dragon turn into snake then flower... You know how to make it successful at the end!
Sonia,
Matcha..my favorite.
Your clicks are so pretty and it separate the CNY feel:p

Hi Sonia,
I have tried making this cookie on Saturday....however, maybe I put too much butter or my butter melted easily cos the end dough was a bit sticky, so I added more flour then my cookie turned out powdery....maybe will try again this weekend. But my hubby likes it! Thank you for the recipe
Last but not least, may I ask if can I just replace the flour to just plain flour?
Phoebii
Phoebii, if you replace the flours with plain flour, i guess the texture will become difference, maybe more coarse. I am not sure, you can try it and see which type your prefer..
Hi there, is it 120g CAKE flour and 20g corn flour instead? Just wondering because your recipe says 120g corn flour and 20g cake flour but I thought usually it shouldn't be so much corn flour? Thanks :)
