White Chocolate Matcha Green Tea Cookies
These soft and chewy white chocolate matcha cookies will satisfy even the most hardcore matcha lover.
Ingredients
- 190 grams unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 95 grams white granulated sugar
- 285 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 15 grams matcha powder
- 150 grams white chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add in your butter, white & brown sugar and cream everything together.
- Next add in your eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture and continue mixing everything together.
- Now in another bowl, combine your all-purpose flour, salt, cornstarch, baking powder, and Matcha powder.
- Sift this mixture over your wet mixture and then mix everything together until you no longer see any white flour on your dough.
- If you’re using a large chocolate bar, you will need to chop up the chocolate into smaller pieces. If on the other hand you’re using white chocolate chips then you can skip this step.
- Now add in about 75-80% of your white chocolate to the dough and mix everything together.
- Take an ice cream scoop and scoop out a large helping of the cookie dough onto a large tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat this for the rest of the dough leaving about 1-2 inches between each cookie, as the cookie will spread out when baked.
- Add in the rest of the white chocolate to the top of each cookie then place the cookie dough in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, take the cookie dough out and bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F or 180°C for about 12 minutes.
- Once baked, allow the cookies to cool down before serving.

Notes
To get a nice vibrant color for your cookies, I recommend that you use high quality matcha powder with a bright green color and avoid the more dull darker looking Matcha powders.
If you’re not a fan of white chocolate, you can also substitute it with either dark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate chips as well, however you may need to adjust how much Matcha powder you add to the dough to get the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness.
If you prefer a more crispy type of cookie, you’ll need to bake the cookies for a bit longer in the oven.
