Matcha Shortbread Cookies with Raspberry Jam

Preheat the oven to 350F. Place flour, matcha green tea powder, and sugar in a food processor and process until combined.

Slowly add butter and vanilla. Mix everything together until the dough starts to come together or until you can shape a smooth ball. Shape dough into a ball and then flatten each into a disk.

Roll out the dough into a ¼-inch thickness. Cut out the dough using cookie cutters and carefully transfer to the prepared baking sheet, leaving approximately ½ -inch between them. Repeat the process until you have used all the dough.

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 13-14 minutes, or until the edges become lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.

To make sandwiches, spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over each cookie bottom and place another cookie (one with a window) on top and press together very gently.
