Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon salted butter melted
- ½ large egg beaten
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar or coconut sugar
- ¼ C granulated cane sugar
- ½ C all-purpose flour + more as needed
- 2 tablespoon almond flour optional
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon high-quality culinary grade matcha
- ¼ C matcha chocolate chips + extra for the tops
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
- In a large glass bowl, add the melted salted butter, egg, and sugars. Whisk until everything is combined.
- Add the flour, almond flour (if using), baking soda, and matcha to the butter mixture and use a spatula to mix until it forms a dough.
- If you press the dough together, it should stick nicely into a ball and not crumble apart. If it appears too "wet," add 1 tablespoon of flour and mix again.
- Fold in the matcha chocolate chips to the cookie dough and mix until all of the chips are dispersed throughout the dough.
- Chill the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Use a small ice cream scoop to portion the cookie dough into 6 balls, about 40-42g each. Roll the balls with your hands and place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or cookie sheet.
- Press in additional matcha chocolate chips on the tops of the cookies and chill in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350°F/177°C, until slightly puffy, dry, and slightly golden in colour. Don't overbake. The cookies should still retain a nice green colour from the matcha.
- Cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet and carefully transfer the cookies onto a wire rack to cool entirely. Enjoy with a tall glass of milk.
