About this dish
Buttery, sablé-style cookies rolled into a log and sliced into rounds, their pale green colour and gentle bitterness coming entirely from whisked-in matcha rather than any food colouring.

Method
Cream the butter and icing sugar together in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
Sift in the flour, matcha powder and salt and mix to a smooth dough.
Shape the dough into a log about 5cm thick, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes until firm.
Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Slice the chilled dough into 1cm rounds and arrange on the tray, spaced well apart.
Bake for 14 minutes until just set but not browned, then cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
