Miss Nona's Yoda Cream Cookies!

My Grandmother's Tea Cookies came together with the Galaxy Far, Far Away to create an out-of-this-world Yoda Cream Cookie!

When my Grandmother, Miss Nona, passed away, she left me her magical box of recipes:  inside was full of enchanted, delightful recipes for sweets of all kinds!  And so, this is where I start when looking for a cookie recipe.
My search found her Tea Cookies, and together with Matcha Powder for goodness and greeness, we had the base for Yoda Cookies!

Yoda Cream Filled Cookies Yoda Cream Cookies are freshly baked using Matcha Powder and a sweet vanilla cream filling.
Prep Time 50 Mins	Cook Time 10 Mins		Total Time 1 hour
ingredients Cookies 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder pinch of salt 1 Tablespoon Matcha Powder 1 teaspoons of lemon zest 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 2 sticks of butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 egg		Filling 1 stick butter 2 cups powdered sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
instructions 1.Sift into a medium bowl the flour, baking powder, salt and matcha powder.  Next whisk in lemon zest. Set aside. 2.In another medium bowl or mixer bowl, beat the butter and sugar until combined. Add the egg and then vanilla. Slowly add in the flour mixture until it is thoroughly mixed. 3. Split the dough in half, roll into balls and wrap in plastic wrap.  Chill until you are ready to use. 4. Preheat over to 350 degrees.  Line your baking sheets with parchment paper. 5. Roll out the dough using powdered sugar instead of flour to coat your rolling surface and rolling pen.  Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. 6.Use your cutter to cut out the shapes and transfer onto the baking sheet. Tip:  Using William Sonoma spring cookie cutters creates a perfect cookie with great detail! 7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes; take them out before they start turning brown. 8.Let cool on a wire rack. 9. While the cookies are cooling, start your filling. 10. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy.  Add the powdered sugar slowly until completely mixed.  Add the vanilla and beat until creamy.  11. Spoon or pipe about a tablespoon of filling on the flat side of one cookie.  Press another cookie to top to create a sandwich.  And you are done!

I am sure my Grandmother would be proud and pleased!  This is a simple, easy way to add Star Wars to any party!
The Force is definitely with these cookies!

I would love to hear if you made them, and if you had a different spin on the recipe!
