Ingredients
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 4 oz white chocolate chips optional but recommended for added sweetness
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick baking sheet.
Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Shape and Bake:
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will continue to set as they cool.
Cool and Serve:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
