Matcha cream filled Christmas tree cookies

1. Prepare all the ingredients and soften the butter at room temperature in advance.

2. Gently beat the softened butter with an electric mixer to make it smooth.

3. Add powdered sugar, continue stirring until smooth, slightly expand, do not beat excessively.

4. Add room temperature protein in batches, and mix well each time before adding the next batch.

5. Add vanilla extract and stir evenly. Use a scraper to clean the edges of the basin.

6. Sift the flour in batches and use a scraper to cut, mix, and press evenly.

7. Until the dry powder is no longer visible, it can form clusters.

8. Cover the dough with oil paper on top and bottom, roll it into thin sheets of uniform thickness, and then refrigerate for half an hour to set.

9. Use the star set cookie mold to press the desired shape onto the pre formed dough, with at least 2 pieces of each shape pressed.

10. Place the prepared cookies on a non stick baking tray and try to arrange them evenly.

11. Then put it into the preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for 12 minutes. The cookies should not be too heavily colored, and it is best to pay attention to them during baking. (Preheat the oven for at least ten minutes, and adjust the baking time according to your own oven temperament.)

Next, make the filling and let the butter soften at room temperature. Beat until smooth, then add powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth.

13. Add softened cream cheese and continue stirring until smooth.

14. Then add matcha powder, stir well, and use a scraper to clean the edge of the basin.

Finally, add light cream and stir until smooth. The filling is ready.

16. Put it in a piping bag for later use.

17. After the cookies cool down, they begin to be assembled. The cookies are stacked in a staggered manner according to their shape, with each piece squeezed with a filling in the center.

After assembling everything, the Christmas tree is complete, and you can simply decorate it according to your preferences.
