Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour The foundation of our cookies, providing a tender crumb.
  • 2 tsp premium grade matcha powder Intense green color and a vibrant, slightly grassy flavor.
  • 2 tsp baking powder The leavening agent that helps the cookies rise.
  • 1/4 tsp salt Enhances overall flavor and balances sweetness.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Sweetness to balance the earthiness of the matcha.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) Creamy richness that enriches the dough.
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature) Moisture and binding agents for perfect cookie texture.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract A warm, aromatic note that complements the other flavors.
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips Sweet, creamy bursts of flavor that contrast beautifully.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the room temperature butter and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully integrated.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the creamed butter and eggs, mixing gently until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
  8. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving space between each.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers stay soft.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to wire racks.

Notes

These cookies are perfect for festive gatherings, served alongside green tea or milk. They can be made healthier by substituting coconut oil for butter or using dark chocolate chips.
