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 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For maximum chewiness, use slightly more brown sugar than white sugar in the recipe.
Use ceremonial grade matcha for the best color and flavor.
Do not overbake; the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
