Matcha Cookies Recipe
Description
These matcha cookies blend matcha powder into a cookie dough made from creamed butter and sugars, providing a tender and slightly chewy texture. The addition of baking soda and salt balances the flavors and contributes to proper rise. White chocolate chips add sweetness and a creamy contrast to the slightly bitter green tea flavor. After mixing, the dough is portioned into evenly sized scoops, slightly pressed, then baked until edges are lightly browned but centers remain soft.
The cookies cool briefly on the pan before transferring to a rack to finish cooling, allowing them to set without overbaking. This cookie pairs well with tea or coffee for a subtle, sweet treat featuring matcha’s distinct flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspopon vanilla
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars with electric beaters for 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Use a medium-sized cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to portion the dough into 18 cookies. Press the tops of the cookies down slightly then bake them in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until the bottoms are very lightly browned.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
