Bake thick, chewy cookies featuring a balanced matcha flavor and sweet white chocolate chips. This recipe focuses on techniques to achieve a soft, satisfying 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.
  6. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours, for the best chewy texture.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers should still appear 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 intense matcha flavor, use ceremonial grade matcha powder.
  • Chilling the dough is essential for preventing spread and promoting chewiness.
  • If you prefer thicker cookies, slightly underbake them by 1 minute.
