Ingredients
  

  • 180 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder, ceremonial grade or high-quality culinary grade
  • 1 tablespoon milk powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 115 g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 150 g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 100 g white chocolate, roughly chopped, plus a handful extra for topping

Instructions
 

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, matcha powder, milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat softened butter until very creamy. Add sugar and cream together with the mixer until very creamy and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add eggs: Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and mix again until combined.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients: Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and briefly mix with the hand mixer until almost combined with some flour patches left.
  • Fold in chocolate: Add the chopped chocolate and finish folding the dough together with a silicone spatula until just combined. Don't overmix.
  • Scoop cookie dough: Using a 4-tablespoon ice cream scooper, scoop out balls of cookie dough and place them on your baking sheet, leaving about 2" between each cookie for spreading.
  • Bake: Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are set but the middle is still very soft. In the last 2 minutes of baking, press a few extra white chocolate chunks on top of each cookie (optional).
  • Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • There's no need to chill this cookie dough before baking but if it's too sticky, it doesn't hurt to chill it for about 30 minutes before scooping.
