Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 190 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp matcha powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 100 g white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the cookies remain soft.
Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to bake slightly on the hot baking sheet.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious matcha cookies with a cup of tea or as a delightful snack!
