These small heart-shaped shortbread cookies are two-colored and flavored with lemon and matcha tea. You can easily change the flavors and colors. I didn’t want to use food coloring, so I preferred matcha tea, which pairs well with lemon.
In the bowl of the mixer, mix the butter and sugar, then add the eggs, ground almonds, and flour. When the dough is smooth, divide it into two equal portions.
Add the matcha tea to one portion. Add the lemon zest and lemon flavoring to the other part of the dough. Roll out the green cookie dough and cut out small hearts using a cookie cutter. Stack the small hearts to form a column and set them in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
To finish, roll out the lemon cookie dough and wrap the green core with the lemon dough. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and let rest for 30 minutes in the freezer. Remove the dough log and cut it into even slices. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 180ºC.
