πŸ“ŒIngredients

πŸƒ3g Everyday Matcha Powder

πŸƒ100 g unsalted butter, softened

πŸƒΒ½ cup brown sugar

πŸƒΒΌ cup powdered sugar

πŸƒ2-3 tbsp milk

πŸƒ1 tsp vanilla extract

πŸƒ1Β½ cups all-purpose flour

πŸƒΒ½ tsp baking soda

πŸƒA pinch of salt

πŸƒΒΎ cup chocolate chips

πŸ“ŒInstructions

πŸƒ1. Mix the Butter and Sugar

Add the softened butter, brown sugar, and powdered sugar to a bowl. Mix until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.

πŸƒ2. Add the Milk and Vanilla

Add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is combined. The milk helps bring the cookie dough together.

πŸƒ3. Add the Dry Ingredients

Sift the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt into the ceramic bowl. Mix gently until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time.

πŸƒ4. Mix in the Chocolate Chips

Add the chocolate chips to the dough and mix until they are evenly spread throughout. Keep a few chips aside to decorate the tops of the cookies.

πŸƒ5. Shape the Cookies

Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking. Press a few extra chocolate chips on top.

πŸƒ6. Bake the Cookies

Preheat the oven to 170Β°C. Bake the cookies for approximately 12-15 minutes, until the edges are set. The centres may still feel slightly soft when you remove them from the oven.

πŸƒ7. Cool and Serve

Let the cookies rest on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely so they firm up while keeping a soft centre.
