Ingredients

For Matcha Cookies:

  • 1 ½ sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup (198 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (213 grams) light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large (100 grams) eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons matcha
  • 1 cup (170 grams) white chocolate chopped or chocolate chip

Instructions

For Matcha Cookies:

  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing fully before adding the next. Add the vanilla and combine.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and matcha. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the white chocolate.
  • Cover the cookie dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Make scoops of cookie dough about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons in size. Place at least 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet.

Notes

  • Chill your cookie dough. I know skipping this step is tempting (you want your cookies as quickly as possible and I can't blame you for that!) but don't do it! Chilling cookie dough prevents the cookies from overspreading. This can cause them to be thinner, crispier, and change the overall flavor of the end product.
  • Don't use cold ingredients. Ensure that all of your cold ingredients are at room temperature before making your cookies. The ingredients will combine much easier and you won't have chunks of cold butter in your cookie dough, which can lead to greasy cookies.
  • Use a cookie cutter to shape your cookies after baking. If you shake a cookie cutter around the cookies when they are fresh out of the oven they will be perfectly round and more visually appealing.
