When we were kids, we loved decorating homemade cookies. We’d make icing-sugar glazes packed with food coloring and pour unlimited sprinkles on top. You too? Thought so. Well, guess what? We’ve made you some grown-up sugar cookies. Being an adult doesn’t mean everything you eat has to be boring! We use matcha powder to turn the entire dough a fresh evergreen hue. Forget the halls – deck the cookies!

    Place a piece of parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet. Cut out any shape you want with cookie cutters. Continue cutting until you’ve filled the entire cookie sheet. We’ve used a tree, but let your imagination run wild! Maybe you’ll have a green menorah this year?
