Matcha White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Soft and chewy matcha cookies packed with creamy white chocolate chips. These bakery-style cookies have a delicate green tea flavor, crisp edges, and tender centers that make them perfect for tea time, holidays, or everyday baking.

Ingredients
  

  • * 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • * 2 tablespoons matcha powder
  • * 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • * 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • * 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • * 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • * 1 large egg
  • * 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • * 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. For thicker cookies, chill the dough balls for 30 minutes before baking.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

* Use culinary-grade matcha for the best balance of color and flavor.
* Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
* For extra visual appeal, press a few additional white chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies before baking.
* Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
* Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 3 months and baked directly from frozen, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the baking time.
