Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., macadamia or almonds)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
9. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Tip: For extra crunch, add more nuts or even some toasted coconut flakes to the cookie dough.

For the best flavor, use high-quality matcha powder. If you’re looking for a lighter cookie, consider reducing the butter slightly or using a butter substitute. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, maintaining their crispiness. Enjoy them with a cup of green tea for an extra special pairing!
