A recipe for soft, thick cookies featuring the earthy flavor of matcha balanced with sweet white chocolate chips, designed for a chewy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality matcha powder
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder until fully combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. Chilling helps achieve a chewy texture.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop the chilled dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons each, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still look slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best matcha flavor, use ceremonial or high-grade culinary matcha powder.
  • To keep the cookies chewy, do not bake them past the point where the center looks slightly underdone. They will continue to set as they cool.
  • If the dough is too hard to scoop after overnight chilling, let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before portioning.
