Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate Chips
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Mixing Dough
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Baking
- Drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look underbaked but will set as they cool.
- Let the cookies sit on the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For presentation, sprinkle extra matcha powder on top and serve with milk, herbal tea, or vanilla ice cream. Use high-quality matcha for best flavor. Chill dough for thicker cookies and watch baking time to prevent overbaking.
