Pro Tips for the Perfect White Chocolate Matcha Cookies

1. Use Quality Matcha: Culinary-grade matcha works best. It has a vibrant color and delivers a clean, smooth taste.
2. Don’t Overmix the Dough: Stir until just combined to keep your cookies soft and prevent them from becoming dense.
3. Watch the Bake Time: The centers should look slightly underbaked. They’ll set as they cool for that perfect chewy texture.
4. Space Cookies Properly: Give each dough ball room to spread so they bake evenly and don’t touch.
5. Cool on the Sheet First: Let cookies sit before moving to a wire rack. This helps them hold their shape without breaking.

These White Chocolate Matcha Cookies offer a modern take on a classic treat. Soft, vibrant, and full of charm, they’re sure to become a new favorite.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 and ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 and ½ cups white chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Heat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2–3 minutes on medium speed.
3. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
4. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure the matcha is fully blended into the flour.
5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until the dough comes together.
6. Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold in the white chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly spread throughout the dough.
7. Scoop and Space the Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving 2 inches between each one to allow for spreading.
8. Bake Until Just Set: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should look soft.
9. Cool Before Moving: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
