Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring spoons
- Rubber spatula
- Cookie scoop
- Baking sheet
- parchment paper,
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons culinary-grade matcha powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet 70% dark chocolate chopped or chips
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets using parchment paper. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 2
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended. Slowly add the dry mixture into the butter mixture, stirring just until no dry flour remains.
Step 3
- Fold the chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips into the dough using a rubber spatula. Mix gently so the chocolate spreads evenly throughout the dough.
Step 4
- Scoop equal portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 11–13 minutes, until the edges turn lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Step 5
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely, then serve alongside coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk.
