Here I was sitting and wishing there were more Sue Li cooking videos 😭🙏 i love her personality and humor, there is no one else like her on RUclips istg.
I love Sue! She has such an entertaining but also soothing personality. I'm also totally pro-shortbread. I give away 3 types of cookies each year, and one is always a shortbread variety for the ease of the dough and the ability to make it in advance.
Yield: About 40 cookies _For the Matcha Dough_ 1½ cups/192 grams all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons matcha powder ¾ teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) ¾ cup/170 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature ½ cup/100 grams sugar 1 large egg yolk _For the Black Sesame Dough_ ⅓ cup black sesame seeds ½ cup/100 grams sugar ¾ teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) ¾ cup/170 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature 1½ cups/192 grams all-purpose flour Make the matcha dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha and salt, and set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and set to medium speed, cream butter and sugar, scraping down the sides, until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the yolk and whip to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour mixture. With the mixer on low, mix until the dough comes together and turns a consistent green, about 30 seconds. Scrape the dough onto a large piece of parchment and pat it into a 6-inch square. Make the black sesame dough: Add sesame seeds to a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to the oven to toast for 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add the sugar and salt, and pulse the mixture - about 25 (3-second) pulses - until combined and the mixture looks like a dark gray tweed. Transfer the sesame seed mixture to the stand mixer bowl (you don’t have to wash the bowl after making the matcha dough). Add the butter and cream the mixture until fluffy and light gray, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides a few times. Add the flour and mix on low until the dough comes together, about 30 seconds. Scrape the sesame dough onto the matcha dough. Using your hands, gently pat the dough so it fits on top of the matcha dough in an even layer. Shape the dough: Transfer the dough to the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes to make it easier to work with. Remove the dough and cut it into 4 equal strips with matcha dough on the bottom and sesame dough on top. Lay one strip on a large piece of parchment paper, matcha side down. Stack another strip on top of the first, so that from the side you see four strips, alternating colors. Press the strips together lightly to adhere. Using the parchment, roll the striped dough into a log that is about 8 inches long. Repeat with the remaining dough. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge to chill until firm, 4 hours. (Prepared dough can be rolled, wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen up to 3 months in advance. Thaw in the refrigerator, slice and bake according to the recipe.) When ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees. As the oven heats, take out one log of dough and let it warm up a little on the counter. This helps create clean cuts. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice the cookies about ¼-inch thick, trimming off the rough ends of each log. Place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets and bake, rotating the trays halfway through, until the edges are lightly golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Repeat as needed with any remaining dough. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Sue is such a comedian 😂 I still make her pistachio orange shortbread from the 2022 cookie week, it is SO good. I might have to try this one now though!
i made a batch of the neapolitan shortbread last year and the "make dough one day and bake another day" comment is probably the best advice one could receive when attempting a large-scale cookie endeavour.
Oh my GROCERIES! you are lovely, stress less friendshine! And I'm attempting to modify these cookies for my vegan sister if you have any tips....I've tried solid coconut oil and margarine ( sigh, called vegan butter but we know) in two separate quarter batches and they both spread to much...
I made these two with the strawberry of the Neapolitan from last year into “Japanese neapolitan” cookies. The sesame is the only flavor without egg in it. Anyone know the reason for that?
I made this recipe, very delicious. Just one thing that bother me is that the sesame overpowered the matcha. Apart from looking green, this cookie does not carry the matcha flavor. I am a matcha snob and I did use culinary matcha for this one, which is normally quite astringent other wise but they don't show at all in the end result. I'll increase the amount of matcha next time, or bloom them 1st and/or adjust the proportion of the sesame. Maybe 1/4 sesame and 3/4 matcha. Also please do not use your pricey ceremonial Uji matcha for this because the higher quality matcha will get over powered pretty easily.
I recommend getting *less* reserved as you get older. There's a lot of downsides to getting older (spine, knees...) so why not lean into the whole "give less of a sh*t about what people think" thing? I'm 55 and currently have fingernails that look like a gay unicorn vomited on them. 😊
her chocolate orange pistachio shortbread is still one of my favorite cookie week entries of all time, will be making this
Please more sue li content, preferably with matching nail colors to various technicolor-ed foodstuffs, also, that tweed blazer nail polish is A+ style
Ok ok i got it - we want sue’s full recipe for steamed pork meatballs from when she was at claire’s!

This flavor combo sounds so yummy!
The stacking/rolling technique is also so cool, the cookies almost look like ornaments!
I love the ruler scene! Thank you for a great video!
I'm sorry when she said she was 42 I screamed, okay stop worrying about the short bread cookie recipes and drop the skin care routine already!!!!

i made a batch of the neapolitan shortbread last year and the "make dough one day and bake another day" comment is probably the best advice one could receive when attempting a large-scale cookie endeavour.

One of the key things about Cookie Week is the resulting variety of cookies. Cookies are fun if there is a variety of them.😊

She does not look 42. I thought she’s 32.
I thought she was in late 20s 😂
This gives me hope for the (very near) future lol
50 shades of cookie dough grey 😂 tweed, heather…
Oh man, I like the idea of this cookie, but I absolutely hate matcha. Beautiful and I'm sure it's tasty for those that appreciate matcha.
Can someone make her cookies and lemme know what y'all think? I have so many cookies I want to bake but not enough time & ingredients 🥹
Where can I get the recipe?
Ella es como yo
God i just notices the shirt 😅
I made these two with the strawberry of the Neapolitan from last year into “Japanese neapolitan” cookies.
The sesame is the only flavor without egg in it. Anyone know the reason for that?

i clicked SO FAST for sue li. i dont even like matcha
100% agree with you about watching people taste food on camera. Yuk.
40??! I thought she was like 21…
She looks 30 😭 no way she’s 40 something ❤
i would have never known she was 42
she's 42??????

Enough with the matcha Christmas cookies !!!
sesame tastes like shit into cookies
The part about the rulers..... I feel her down into my bones. Like you should just use one 😂😂😂🩷🩷
What a shame that 42 equates to becoming less. You’re old enough to stop shoulding yourself. 🫶🏼
