These chewy matcha white chocolate chip cookies offer a tender crumb with a subtle earthy bitterness from matcha balanced by creamy sweetness from white chocolate. Quick and easy to make with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons matcha powder (culinary-grade)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the white chocolate chips gently.
  7. Scoop dough balls about 1 ½ inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Use softened butter, not melted, for a tender crumb. Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid tough cookies. Chilling dough 20-30 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading. Use culinary-grade matcha for best flavor and color. Adjust matcha powder amount carefully to avoid bitterness. Cookies are best served at room temperature. Store in airtight container up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
