Matcha shortbread cookies dipped in dark chocolate

We have been pulling 11 hour days at work for the past few weeks. I figured I’d whip up a sweet treat in the kitchen to help boost team morale! After reviewing numerous recipes for shortbread cookies on the internet, the simplest one i saw turned out perfect.

These shortbread cookies are crumbly and melt in your mouth. The dark chocolate complements the richness of the matcha. I chose to top mine with toasted coconut leftover from baking a cake, but nuts are a good alternative. I had some trouble rolling it into a perfect log so some of my cookies are not perfectly shaped but they tasted just as good. My dear colleagues devoured these treats. Consider morale boosted! 1.5 weeks to go until end of the academic year.
