Steps:
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Place egg whites, granulated sugar, and salt in a heatproof bowl. Set bowl over a pot with a few inches of barely simmering water; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture is warm, frothy and sugar is dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat on high until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 3 minutes. Place confectioners' sugar and matcha in a small sieve; sift over egg white mixture and gently fold in with a rubber spatula.
- Fit a large pastry bag with a 1/2-inch round tip and fill with meringue. Pipe 1 1/2-inch kisses onto prepared baking sheet. Bake until dry, rotating pan halfway through, about 2 hours. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack before peeling off parchment. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Whisk together flour, tea, matcha, and salt in a small bowl. Cream together butter and sugar in a mixer bowl on medium until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. On low, slowly mix in flour mixture until just combined.
- Divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of parchment paper; shape into logs 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Roll each log in parchment, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow log and force out air. Freeze 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unwrap frozen logs and slice 1/4 inch thick. Place an inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges turn golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets on wire racks.

Steps:
- Whisk the flour, matcha, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and almond extract until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Turn out the dough onto a large sheet of plastic wrap; shape into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the dough until 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut out cookies with a 1 1/2- to 2-inch fluted round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter. Reroll the scraps once and cut out more cookies. Arrange about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle generously with coarse sugar. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are firm but not browned, 17 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect meringue, make sure your egg whites are at room temperature. Cold egg whites won't whip up as well.
- Use a clean, dry bowl and whisk. Any residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
- Whip the egg whites gradually, starting on low speed and increasing to high speed as they begin to foam.
- Continue whipping until the meringue is stiff and glossy and holds peaks.
- Fold in the sugar gradually to prevent the meringue from deflating.
- Pipe the meringue onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Don't let the meringues touch each other, or they will stick together.
- Bake the meringues in a low oven until they are dry and crisp.
- Let the meringues cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
