How to Make It
Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. The vibrant green matcha will make the dough pop with color and flavor.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a separate bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is key for creating that perfect cookie texture—soft, chewy, and slightly crisp on the edges.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and slightly glossy, ready to bring all the cookie components together.
4. Combine and Fold in Chocolate
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Then, gently fold in the white chocolate chunks. The dough will be thick, vibrant green, and speckled with creamy white chocolate.
5. Scoop and Bake
Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto a baking sheet, leaving space for spreading. Bake until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. The aroma of matcha and melting chocolate will fill your kitchen!
6. Cool and Enjoy
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Once cooled, grab a glass of milk and dive in!
Pro Tips
- Use high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and color. Culinary-grade matcha works perfectly here.
- Don’t overmix the dough—this keeps the cookies tender and chewy.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking if you want thicker cookies.
- Add a pinch of salt to the white chocolate chunks for a sweet-and-salty twist.
Storage
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. Bake straight from the freezer, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
- To keep cookies fresh longer, place a slice of bread in the container—it’ll absorb excess moisture and keep them soft.
