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