    Step-by-Step: How to Make Matcha Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. Preheat & Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Soften your butter and measure out your ingredients ahead of time for a smooth baking flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Cream Butter & Sugars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy\u2014about 2\u20133 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla, and mix until smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Add Dry Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In a separate bowl, whisk flour, matcha, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix into the wet ingredients just until a soft dough forms. Fold in white chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Chill the Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes. This helps the cookies hold their shape and stay chewy when baked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Scoop & Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10\u201312 minutes or until edges are just set. Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    6. Add the Finishing Touch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    While the cookies are still warm, press a few extra white chocolate chips into the tops for that bakery-style look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tips for Perfect Matcha Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    • Don\u2019t overbake<\/strong>\u2014the cookies will firm up as they cool but should look slightly underdone in the center when removed from the oven.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
