Matcha cookies are delightful treats that incorporate matcha powder, a finely ground green tea. This gives a distinct earthy, slightly bitter, and vibrant flavor. With browned butter and white chocolate chips, these matcha cookies turned out really great!

Total Time:1 30

Ingredients

2 cup all purpose flour
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp matcha powder
1 cup butter unsalted
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs room temperature
1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

Brown butter, using a light colored pan so you can monitor the color. Heat butter over medium heat until it turns a golden yellow color. Pour butter in a large 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.
Add in white sugar and brown sugar to butter. Mix to combine. Once well combined, add eggs and vanilla. Whisk together until it has a light and creamy texture.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients. 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.
