Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter 12 tablespoons
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar 167 grams
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed 104 grams
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups flour 330 grams
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips 11-ounce package

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large microwave-safe bowl
  • Whisk
  • Separate bowl
  • 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Whisk in both granulated and brown sugars into the melted butter, then allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, whisking until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  6. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Stir in the white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  8. Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll each scoop into a ball.
  9. Place the cookie dough balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring about 2 inches of space around each.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies just begin to brown.
  11. Immediately remove the baking sheet from the oven and bang it firmly on the counter 2-3 times to help deflate the cookies.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Banging the baking sheet on the counter after baking helps create those desirable crinkly edges and a chewier texture. Ensure cookies cool slightly on the sheet before transferring to a rack to prevent breaking.
