Ingredients & directions
EASY
INGREDIENTS
- 160g unsalted butter
- 65g caster sugar
- 100g brown sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 180g plain flour
- 10g ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 150g white chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
1. Brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to foam and turn golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
2. In a large mixing bowl beat together the cooled browned butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.
3. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt and matcha powder and fold in with a spatula until well combined. Fold through the chocolate chips then scoop into 14 equal sized balls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight.
4. Preheat the oven to 160C and line a large baking tray with baking paper. Allow space between dough as cookies will spread slightly while baking. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centre is still slightly soft. Allow cookies cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
