What is a spritz cookie?

Spritz cookies are similar to shortbread cookies, except they are baked with egg, which allows the cookie to hold its shape. Spritz cookies also don’t crumble like shortbread cookies!

When I searched for the best matcha cookie recipe, I found a lot of tasty looking results, but nothing seemed as good as those spritz cookies my grandma used to bake when I was a kid.

I dug out an old spritz cookie recipe from my grandma and modified it to include matcha! The result is a light shortbread type of cookie that is perfect with a morning cup of tea.
