Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder Invest in a good quality matcha for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop generous tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers may look underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
Cooling
  1. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies retain their shape and enhances the flavors. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
