Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make these delicious cookies. I’ve also included substitution notes for dietary preferences:

• 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version)

• 1 tbsp high-quality matcha powder (culinary grade for the best flavor)

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)

• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar

• ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed

• 1 large egg, room temperature

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ¾ cup (130g) white chocolate chips (or dairy-free white chocolate chips)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bake the perfect Matcha White Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

4. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Scoop and Shape: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Baking Tips

Here are some expert tips to ensure your cookies turn out perfectly every time:

• Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: This helps the dough come together smoothly and evenly.

• Don’t Overbake: The cookies will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet, so remove them when the edges are just golden.

• Proper Spacing: Give the cookies enough space on the baking sheet to spread without merging into each other.

• Store Properly: Keep leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
