1

Gather Your Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and make sure you have all your ingredients ready. The key players in this recipe are: butter, sugar, an egg, flour, matcha powder, baking soda, white chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt. Oh, and don't forget your excitement!

2

Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) of softened butter and 3/4 cup (150g) of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or channel your inner bicep power with a wooden spoon. Go, go, go!

3

Add the Egg and Matcha

Beat in 1 egg until well incorporated. Then, add 2 teaspoons of matcha powder and give it a good mix. Be prepared for your dough to transform into a lovely shade of green. It's like a mini makeover for your cookie dough!

4

Mix in the Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 and 3/4 cups (220g) of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Don't overmix, or your cookies might become a little sad.

5

Fold in the White Chocolate

It's time for some white chocolate magic! Fold in 1 cup (175g) of white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Make sure to taste a couple of chips along the way, you know, just to make sure they're good quality. It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it!

6

Bake and Cool

Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, making sure to leave a little space between each one. Pop the sheet in the preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 10-12 minutes, or until they look slightly golden around the edges. Once baked, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Now it's time to show some patience!

These cookies are best enjoyed with a cup of tea or as a delightful snack any time of the day. Share them with loved ones or keep them all to yourself – no judgment here!
