Equipment

  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour plus extra for texture, about 150 grams
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch 24 grams
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 4 teaspoons matcha powder culinary grade, I prefer Matcha Bar's blend!
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter or vegan butter 113 grams
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar 40 grams
  • 1/2 cup white sugar 110 grams
  • 2 tablespoons milk or plant-based milk of choice
  • 2/3 cup white chocolate chips 140 grams

Instructions

  • In one bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt and baking powder.
  • In a separate bowl, use a mixer to beat together the butter and sugars. Do this on the lowest setting for about 2-5 minutes, or until the batter is lighter in color and fluffy. Drizzle in the milk and restart the mixer. Mix until the batter is creamy and blended.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients, folding with a spatula. When no dry flour remains, pour in the chocolate chips and mix.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F and chill the dough in your fridge while the oven preheats.
  • Scoop the dough into 8 even balls, weighing about 75 g each.
  • Evenly space out the dough on two parchment lined baking sheets.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes at 400°F, or until the cookies have spread out and the edges appear slightly crisp.
  • After removing the cookies from the oven, tap or smack the tray on the counter a few times to increase the cookie's spread to create a thinner cookie. This will help with the texture.
  • Serve and enjoy. :)
