Description
Thick, bakery-style cookies with earthy matcha and gooey white chocolate chunks. A chewy, soft-centered treat that’s both comforting and elegant.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the cold butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, matcha, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chunks.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion dough onto the prepared sheet. Chill for 20 minutes if possible.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use high-quality matcha for better color and flavor.
- Chill dough for deeper flavor and less spreading.
- Top with extra white chocolate chunks before baking for bakery-style looks.
- Rotate baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
