Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons high-quality matcha green tea powder
1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha green tea powder until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a more intense green color, use ceremonial grade matcha powder.
If you prefer a flatter cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
These cookies pair well with a glass of milk or a matcha latte.
