Directions
Preheat the oven to 180ºC
Add the butter & sugar to a large mixing bowl and mix together using an electric hand whisk.
- Once incorporated, add the remaining cookie ingredients and whisk until combined.
- Line a large baking tray with some greaseproof paper. Using a small sized ice cream scoop, divide into 14 balls, then roll them in your hand for a few seconds to make them into a nicely rounded smooth ball, and place back onto the baking tray, spreading them out evenly with space between them.
Put in the oven for 10 minutes
- Once the cookies are ready, remove them from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl over a simmering pan of water, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 tsp OMGTEA matcha powder to the melted white chocolate, sifting the matcha powder through a mini sieve, then stir to combine.
- Add 1 scoop of ice cream between 2 cookies, then dip the matcha ice cream sandwich slightly into the melted matcha chocolate, put onto a plate lined with baking paper, and straight into the freezer for the chocolate to set for around 15 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and eat straight away, or leave in a sealed container in the freezer for those times when you feel like a sweet treat!
