What ingredients you will need:
Serving: 16 Cookies
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Brown your butter. Heat your butter over medium heat until it turns a golden yellow color. Pour butter in a heat proof bowl to cool. As the butter cools, it will get darker in color.
- Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder in a medium size mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Next add in white sugar and brown sugar to your butter. Mix to combine. Once well combined, add in your eggs and vanilla. Whisk together. Whisk until you get a light and creamy texture (~1 minute). This is the key to getting a crisp and chewy cookie.
- Once the wet ingredients are well mixed, slowly add in the dry ingredients from step 3. Combine with a spatula until a green dough forms.
- Add in the white chocolate chips and mix until they are well incorporated.
- Let the dough rest in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a 3 tablespoon (1.5 oz) ice cream scoop to scoop cookie dough onto baking sheets. Cookies should be 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cookies cool for 10 minutes before putting them on a cooling rack.
- Cool cookies for another 15 minutes before serving.
