Matcha White Chocolate Cookies
Description
These Matcha White Chocolate Cookies use culinary-grade matcha powder blended into a flour base to create a delicate green hue and a mild vegetal note. The melted butter with granulated and light brown sugars lends a moist and tender crumb to the dough. White chocolate chips scattered throughout provide sweet bursts contrasting the matcha’s earthiness. The dough is chilled to control spread and maintain a chewy texture. Baking at 350°F for 9 to 10 minutes allows the centers to remain soft while the edges set.
The result is a cookie with a tender center and gently crisp edges. The flavor balance makes these suitable for an afternoon treat or served with tea. The recipe requires precise flour measurement to keep texture consistent and ensures the dough's chill time supports structure. Baking just until the cookies look barely done prevents dryness and preserves softness on cooling.
For even baking, use a medium cookie scoop and space the cookies about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined sheets to allow spreading. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days, preserving their chewy texture well.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour 6.5 oz
- 1 tablespoon (0.25 oz) matcha powder (high quality, culinary grade)
- 1 teaspoon (0.28 oz) baking soda
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, salted, melted
- ½ cup (3.82 oz) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (3.35 oz) light brown sugar
- 1 egg room temperature, large
- 1 teaspoon (0.18 oz) vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, matcha, and baking soda until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix (about 1 cup at a time) the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix until well incorporated. Then, fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a medium size cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons) to scoop the dough out into balls. Place it on a lined cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. The center will look undone, but the cookie will continue to cook as it cools.
Notes
- Measure flour accurately using a kitchen scale or the spoon and sweep method for consistent texture.
- Bring eggs to room temperature before mixing to help blend ingredients smoothly.
- Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to control spreading and achieve a chewy center.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion dough evenly and bake cookies spaced 2 inches apart.
- Bake cookies until edges are set but centers look slightly underdone to avoid overbaking and maintain softness.
