1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Cream the butter and sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
-
Add wet ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until smooth.
-
Combine with dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until the dough comes together.
-
Add the chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Shape the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake the cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
-
Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
Add-ins: For extra texture, try adding chopped walnuts or almonds with the chocolate chips.

Vegan version: Use plant-based butter and an egg replacer like flax or chia egg.
-
Minty twist: Add a teaspoon of mint extract for a refreshing matcha-mint combination.
-
White chocolate chips: Swap in white chocolate chips for a sweeter, creamier twist.
