Description
Decadent cookies combining the rich flavor of brown butter with white chocolate and matcha goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups + 2 tbsp (260g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 tsp (4g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (2g) salt
- 2 tbsp (15g) matcha powder, sifted
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, browned
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (220g) light brown sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract, or vanilla paste
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Scoop the Cookie Dough: Start by portioning your dough into balls using a cookie scoop. Aim for about a tablespoon for each. You will feel the dough’s texture change as you roll it in your hands. Just make sure not to flatten them too much; you want them nice and plump!
- Chill for Better Texture: Let the scooped dough balls chill in the fridge for a good hour. You will notice they firm up quite a bit. This rest time helps improve the texture, so resist the temptation to skip this step-it will make a difference!
- Preheat & Bake Cookies: Set your oven to the right temperature at 375 degrees F and let it warm up. When you pop the cookies in, the aroma of nutty brown butter should hit you right away. Keep an eye on them-if they smell too nutty or look too dark, they might be on their way to overbaking. Bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden.
- Cool to Finish Baking: Let the cookies cool on the rack once you have taken them out. They will continue to set as they cool down. This step helps them hold their shape and texture, so do not rush it-try not to snack too soon, even if they smell amazing!
Notes
- Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They can be stored up to 7 days in the fridge and 2 months in the freezer.
- Use a light colored pan for browning butter to avoid burning.
- Sift matcha powder to prevent clumps for even color.
- Rest the dough for at least 1 hour for better texture.

- Serve warm with a cup of green tea.
- Pair with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
- Present on a decorative platter for gatherings.
