Matcha White Chocolate Cookies
If you are are a matcha lover, you are guaranteed to enjoy these matcha white chocolate cookies! They are perfectly with high quality matcha powder and rolled in powdered sugar for the classic cookie taste.
The Ingredients
You really just need the basics for this recipe. Grab your flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda from the pantry, yes, we are using both! Baking powder and baking powder sometimes feel synonymous when we are cooking but they actually serve quite different purposes, especially in a baked good with an acidic component!
Generally speaking, baking soda works best when there is already an acidic component to a recipe, such as lemon juice. On the other hand, baking powder is a more complete substance and does not require an acidic component to do it’s job. In the long run, baking soda and powder both work by causing a carbon dioxide reaction that produces bubbles in your mixture that helps make the baked good light and fluffy. You could likely get away with just one in this recipe, but after many trials and error I prefer the combination of both for a baked good that is thoroughly light and fluffy.
Ok, let’s get back to the ingredients! From the fridge grab unsalted butter and an egg. For extracts in this recipe we use a combination of vanilla and almond for a perfect sweet, nutty flavor. Finally grab your favorite ceremonial grade matcha powder!
The Steps
- Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and grabbing a lined baking tray.
- Combine room temperature butter, sugar and egg in a bowl and mix well for 1-2 minutes until it is smooth.
- Sift the matcha powder in to your wet mixture and whisk well.
- In a separate bowl combine your flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix well and then gradually add to the wet mixture.
- Next, gently fold in your white chocolate chunks!
- Scoop out 2 tbsp sixed balls of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Next, roll the ball of dough in powdered sugar to cover it. Place on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
- Let these cool completely and enjoy!
