This holiday season, or for any occasion, you’ll want to make these delicious matcha spritz cookies. They’re more cakey than crispy and may remind you of the buttery cookies you’d find in Japan, especially since they’re made with matcha and miso. Decorate them as you please, and be sure to share the cookies with friends and loved ones! Note you’ll need a piping bag and a star tip to pipe cookie wreaths. You can, of course, also pipe them out as Christmas trees. This recipe is excerpted from Modern Asian Baking at Home by Kat Lieu

Swiss roll cakes from Chinese bakeries are soft and light as air, not too sweet, and perfect for my taste buds. The cake is airy chiffon that melts in your mouth, as does the fresh cream within. I love matcha anything, so we’ll be making a matcha sponge cake.

What’s better than fresh homemade milk bread? Matcha milk bread of course! If you’re time-poor, you can make this bread dough like I did the night before and allow it to rise in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, shape and then proof for about an hour in warm room temperature. You can also use any standard bread pan. I chose a cute neko (cat) bread pan and turn the slices into a frog and a kitty. I highly recommend you try this easy milk bread recipe. It requires neither the tangzhong nor yudane methods, and I bet you’ll be matcha in love with it! Happy baking! Xoxoxo, Kat Lieu Note: For added umami, instead of salt, add 1/2 teaspoon of any miso to the bread dough.

This multi-layered, multi-textured melty showstopper is inspired by LeTAO’s famous double fromage cheesecake. A matcha gelee separates two cheesecake layers, one baked, the other unbaked and mousse/custard-like. A springy and soft matcha sponge cake forms the foundation, and a part of this cake is used for the mossy matcha crumb coating. Add a layer of sugar to the top and burn it for a crème brûlée effect. You’ll definitely need a few hours to complete this cake, including cooling and refrigeration time, so plan ahead. This heavenly and creamy pièce de résistance will be worth it.

The Japanese cheesecake took me three years to perfect, so don’t feel too discouraged if your Japanese cheesecake is not perfect the first time. When a nearly perfect Japanese Cheesecake comes out of the oven, it’s an ethereal experience. You’ll want to bake this airy, melt-in-your-mouth showstopper repeatedly. I made a matcha version of my Japanese cheesecake and it’s floral and leafy with a hint of umami. Add a bit of yuzu or lemon juice, and it’ll be the most refreshing and addictive Japanese cheesecake you’ll ever make.

Note: Once refrigerated and “aged”, the cake will transform into a denser yet still light cheesecake.
