Ingredients
Cookie ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter Browned
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup matcha powder High-quality recommended
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring frequently until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, about 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
