"This is a variation of my Recipe #449627. I thought that green tea cookies would go great with a filling of some sort and so I came up with this. I hope youll enjoy these cookies as much as we do! :) Feel free to experiment with the fillings of your choice. Im sure other types of marmalade or jam would be yummy, too. :)"

ingredients

For the Cookies
185 g flour
30 g walnuts, chopped (I used a mix of walnuts and hazelnuts)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
100 g sugar
3 teaspoons green tea leaves, chopped finely (use a good quality tea with flowery taste for this)
60 g butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
For the fillings
4 teaspoons bitter orange marmalade
4 teaspoons peanut butter
4 teaspoons red currant jam

directions

First combine all of the dry ingredients in a big bowl. Then add all of the wet ingredients at once and knead everything into a smooth dough.
Divide dough into 24 portions and roll them into balls (about the size of a walnut). Using one of your fingers or a spoon make an indentation into each thumbprint.
Fill 8 cookies with 1/2 ts of marmalade each, 8 with peanut butter and the other 8 with the red currant jam.
Place them on a paper-lined baking sheet and bake in the pre-heated oven at 180°C/350°F for about 15 minutes or until cookies are slightly browned around the edges and cooked through.

Another lovely cookie recipe Lalaloula! I used half whole wheat flour, jasmine green tea leaves, ground almonds instead of walnuts (due to preference) and apricot jam for the thumbprint. Very nice cookie if you're looking for something a little different and not too sweet. I think I'd like to try your cut out cookies as well and maybe drop the green tea leaves to 2 teaspoons. I also may have chopped the leaves a little too fine but lovely none the less. Thanks for posting! Made and enjoyed for PAC 2011 :)
