White Chocolate Matcha Cookies Recipe:

Follow these steps to bake a batch of these stunning, flavor-packed cookies that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed. This step helps evenly distribute the matcha powder throughout the dough.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  5. Blend in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a soft, tender cookie texture.
  6. Add White Chocolate Chips: Stir in the white chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Portion Dough and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft, as they will firm up while cooling.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
