One basic dough for lots of cookies

The Christmas time calls for cookie baking. All the traditional ones are great, but I love to try new things.

I wanted some Matcha Tea Cookies. I checked Pinterest and found several versions. And I found a cookie hack.

Use one basic recipe and add various ingredients to change the flavour.
There are called 9 Rollen Kekse or 9 cookie rolls.
Bake all at 175 C for 13-14 min.


Basic Recipe:
125 g soft unsalted butter
100 g sugar
1 pinch of salt
200 g flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp milk

Matcha cookies:
2 tsp Matcha powder

Add all ingredients and form 2 sausages, wrap in clingfilm and put in tge fridge for 1 hour.
Then cut into 1 cm disc and place them on baking paper with a bit of space. Bake and let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 min when they come out of the oven. Cool on a wire rack.

Sesame cocoa cookies:
4 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp dark sesame oil
Coating:
1 egg white
30 g roasted sesame seeds

Prepare the dough and roll 2 sausages. Brush them with egg white and coat them in sesame seeds. Wrap and cool them.
When you bake them, use a lot of space on the baking sheet, they spread out!
