White Chocolate Matcha Cookies
These white chocolate chunk cookies are made even tastier with the addition of the delicate flavour of green matcha tea.
Ingredients
- 250g/1 ¾ cups all purpose/plain flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp cornstarch/(cornflour)
- ½ tsp salt
- 2-2.5 tbsp premium matcha powder
- 185g/3/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 150g/3/4 cup white sugar
- 100g/1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 250g/1.5 cups white chocolate chunks I used chopped white chocolate bar
- 100g/0.5 cup red M&Ms or Smarties
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cornstarch and matcha. To the bowl of a stand mixer add brown sugar, white sugar and room temperature butter, beat with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy for a minute.
- Add room temperature egg yolk, a whole egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth and fully combined. Add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and beat until dough forms. Mix in chocolate and let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. (The colour will begin to fade if you rest it longer.)
- Preheat the oven to 180C/ 350°F. Line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper. Scoop out equal portions of dough, about 6-8 cookies per pan, then flatten them with the palm of your hand.
- Bake in a preheated oven for around 10 minutes or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the pan until firm for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to continue cooling. Continue the process until all cookies are baked.
