- Pre heat oven to 180C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.

- Beat in egg whites to combine. After on a low speed add flour, corn flour and cocoa mixture until just combined to a soft dough.
- Fit a piping bag with a large star nozzle. Place some of the dough into the piping bag and pipe 2 to 3 small star dots next to each other on the baking tray. This makes one half of a cookie. Repeat with all the dough. Bake in oven for 10-12 mintues. Leave them to harden on the tray until completely cool.
- At this time prepare the ganache. In small sauce pan bring cream to the boil. Pour cream slowly in to the white chocolate while stirring at the same time to emulsify the two. Keep stir until combined. Stir in green tea powder until complete combined. Set aside in fridge to set.
- Once ganache is firm spread a small amount on the flat side of one cookie. Sprinkle with black salt or roasted sesame seeds. Pair up with another one and press together to form one cookie. Store in a air tight container.
