Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well.
    ½ cup Butter, ¾ cup Granulated Sugar, 1 large Egg
  • In a separate bowl, blend the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the powdered matcha green tea. Mix it well so the green tea powder is evenly distributed.
    1½ cups Flour, ½ teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon Salt, 4 tablespoon Matcha Green Tea Powder
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the the wet ingredients in two or three portions, mixing and scraping the sides after each addition. After mixed, add the white chocolate chips and stir them in.
    1 cup White Chocolate Chips
  • Scoop cookie dough up and make then equal balls and lay on the cookie sheet with about 3" space between. Put five on each cookie sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove and let sit for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Be careful to not over bake these cookies. The match green tea powder can over brown easily.
  • You can take the cookie sheet out of the oven at about 9 minutes and add more white chocolate chips on top for a super chip look. Return to the oven to finish baking.
  • If you want perfectly round cookies, remove the tray at 9 minutes and use a large biscuit cutter, glass, or cutter that fits around the cookies. Gently move it around so it forces the cookies to keep a round shape. Return to the oven to finish baking.
