Beehive cookies with matcha cream

7. 10. 2025

Beehive cookies with Matcha cream are a little twist on classic Czech cookies. This time, we are adding a little Matcha powder to add some colors.

You will need:

For the no-bake beehive dough:

• 3/4 cup of ground walnuts
• 1 cup confectioner sugar
• 1 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 small egg white
• 1 tsp rum dark
• 20 round vanilla wafers (for the base)
• 1 tbsp Matcha powder (for decoration)

For the Matcha cream:

• 1/2 cup of butter softened at room temperature
• 1/2 cup confectioner sugar
• 1 tbsp Matcha powder
• 1 tbsp rum or milk

Preparation process:

Start with the no-bake dough:

• Combine all the ingredients for the beehive dough in a medium kitchen bowl with a wooden spatula. If the dough doesn’t come together with the spatula, work it with your hands.
• Leave the dough in the kitchen bowl and cover it with food wrap. Let it chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. After 30 minutes, the mixture will become easier to handle.
• Dust the beehive cookie mold with confectioner sugar and place a small piece of the dough inside the mold. 
• Remove excess of the dough with your hands.
• With your index finger, make a hole and gently open the mold to remove the beehive. Repeat until you have used all the dough.

For the Matcha cream:

1. In a medium kitchen bowl, start mixing with a hand mixer, soft unsalted butter with sugar until creamy.
2. Add matcha powder and mix until combined.
3. At the end, add rum/or milk and mix until creamy.
4. Place the matcha buttercream in a piping plastic bag without any tip. Cut a 1/4 inch opening and pipe the cream inside the beehives.
5. Pipe also small dollop onto the wafers and then place the beehive on top of it.
6. Sprinkle some Matcha powder on the assembled beehives.
