Serving size

Around 8 to 10 cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, browned
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 tbsp matcha powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup white chocolate

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (177C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Place the butter in a small saucepan and set over medium low heat. Allow it to melt and then stir with a silicone spatula as it starts to bubble. Stir the butter every 10 to 15 seconds. At first, the butter will melt and foam, then with time the foam bubbles will get smaller and the butter will start to get a warm nutty aroma. Take off heat, and allow to cool.

Step 3

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar in the cooled butter. Mix until combined (about 2 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until a smooth consistency.

Step 4

Add the flour, matcha, baking soda and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Then add the chopped white chocolate. Mix until combined.

Step 5

Use a 1,5 ounce cookie scoop. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Enjoy!
