I don’t
really LOVE drinking the traditional matcha all that much, but I LOVE matcha
milk tea and matcha flavored sweets. Ice cream, cookies, cake…..YUM:)
Here’s what I
came up with this weekend—chewy matcha cookies with white chocolate chunks.
Chewy Matcha White Chocolate Cookies:
Makes about 16 3-inch cookies
Ingredients
·
1 stick butter, softened
·
¾ cup granulated sugar
·
1 cup + 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
·
½ teaspoon baking soda
·
½ teaspoon salt
·
1 egg yolk
·
½ egg white (I just eyeballed it)
·
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
·
A little less than 4 oz white chocolate bar,
chopped into chunks
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2.
Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and
matcha powder.
3.
Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy,
about 4 minutes.
4.
Beat in egg yolk, egg white, and vanilla extract
to butter-sugar mixture till combined.
5.
Stir in dry ingredients till just combined. Stir
in white chocolate.
6.
Scoop up tablespoons of cookie dough onto
parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
7.
Bake at 350°F for about 8 minutes.
Notes:
1. Use a cookie scoop to get uniformly sized round
cookies (level off cookie dough from the scoop). I used Oxo Good Grip Medium
Cookie Scoop and the cookies turned out about 3 inches.
2. The dough can be store in the fridge for 5 days.
But it should be brought back to room temperature before baking.
