How Do We Make The Sencha Green Tea Coconut Cookies?
What are the ingredients for the Ganache in the Sencha green tea recipe?
4 ounces white chocolate
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon Cheryls Tea Sencha green tea powder (original flavor)
What are the ingredients for the Cookies in the Sencha green tea recipe?
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For dipping, we need: 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For rolling the cookies, we need: 1/3 cup shredded coconut
The procedures in making the Sencha Green Tea Coconut Cookies:
In a small bowl, microwave the white chocolate, heavy cream and butter for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture and continue to microwave in 30 second intervals until the chocolate is mostly melted. Stir the mixture to finish melting the chocolate with the residual heat.
Add the vanilla and Sencha green tea powder to the chocolate mixture. Stir well. Refrigerate while baking the cookies.
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
Combine the flour, cornstarch, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, mix the butter and confectioners sugar until just combined, about 1 minute.
Add the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix on medium-high until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Add the flour mixture and mix on low until just incorporated, then increase the speed to medium and mix just until it becomes smooth, about 30 seconds.
Roll the dough into balls the size of 1 1/2 teaspoons. Place the shredded coconut into a small bowl and roll the dough balls in the coconut. Lay the balls out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (I use silpat baking sheets) 2 inches apart.
Dip the bottom of a drinking glass in granulated sugar, and press down on one of the balls to create a flattened cookie shape. Repeat with the remaining balls, dipping the glass in granulated sugar between each one.
Bake for 8 10 minutes until the bottom edges of the cookies become a pale golden color. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Let the cookies completely cool for 30 minutes 1 hour. If they are not completely cooled, they will melt the ganache when you assemble the sandwiches.
Pair up similar sized cookies. Scoop some of the sencha ganache onto the center of one cookie. Cover with the second cookie and gently press to flatten the ganache. If the ganache is too stiff
So enjoy each of the Sencha Green Tea Coconut Cookies with family and friends. Savor the great flavor and the benefits brought to you by the Sencha green tea!
