A recipe for soft, thick cookies featuring the earthy flavor of matcha balanced with sweet white chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality matcha powder
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder until fully combined and the color is uniform.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, for best texture.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons each, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still appear slightly soft and underbaked.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the chewiest result, use slightly more brown sugar than white sugar in the recipe.
  • Chilling the dough is essential; it prevents the cookies from spreading too thin while baking.
  • Use ceremonial grade matcha for the best color and flavor in your cookies.
