Directions

Heat oven to 350º F.
In a food processor, pulse almonds until finely ground, then add 3 Tbsp of the butter. Pulse until combined and fairly smooth.
Add ½ cup of the butter to the almond mixture and pulse until smooth. Then, add 1 cup of the sugar and pulse until smooth. Finally, add the egg and vanilla to the mixture, and pulse until smooth.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, Yu Matcha powder, and salt.
Add flour mixture to almond mixture and pulse until it makes a dough.
Form a heaping teaspoon of dough into a ball ¾″ diameter, then flatten slightly to make into a disk (¼″ thick).
Dip the disk in the remaining ¼ cup of sugar and place 5-6 cranberries on the disk.
Repeat with remaining dough, sugar, and cranberries.
Bake cookies at 350º F for 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool.
