These homemade cookies use skim milk powder and green tea powder to bring out a nutty flavor and subtle aroma. The dough is chilled firm in the freezer, sliced, and baked in a 180°C oven for 10 minutes; if you do not have an oven, you can also cook them in a frying pan over low heat.

12. These are the leftovers that did not fit in the oven, so I tried baking them in a pan over low heat.
These are the ones baked in the pan; the outside turned darker than the oven-baked ones.
The outside is crisp while the inside is slightly soft. If you do not have an oven, you can bake them in a pan over low heat.

Using powdered sugar instead of regular sugar when mixing with butter is even better.
Is coating the outside of the dough with sugar necessary?
You can omit it according to your preference without affecting the final result.
Can I replace the green tea or milk powder with other powders?
