Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (113g) Unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) Brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) Granulated sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Matcha powder , (culinary grade)
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup (135g) White chocolate chips

Instructions

  • 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  • 3

    Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

  • 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • 5

    Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

  • 6

    Fold in the white chocolate chips.

  • 7

    Scoop the dough into 1.5-tbsp balls and place on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.

  • 8

    Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the centers look slightly underbaked.

  • 9

    Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days.
  • Ingredient swap: Use dairy-free butter and vegan white chocolate to make them dairy-free.
  • Make-ahead tip: Freeze the dough balls and bake straight from the freezer, adding 1–2 extra minutes.
