📌Ingredients

🍃3g Everyday Matcha Powder

🍃100 g unsalted butter, softened

🍃½ cup brown sugar

🍃¼ cup powdered sugar

🍃2-3 tbsp milk

🍃1 tsp vanilla extract

🍃1½ cups all-purpose flour

🍃½ tsp baking soda

🍃A pinch of salt

🍃¾ cup chocolate chips

📌Instructions

🍃1. 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.

🍃2. 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.

🍃3. 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.

🍃4. 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.

🍃5. 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.

🍃6. Bake the Cookies

Preheat the oven to 170°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.

🍃7. 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.

📌 Expert Tips

Use softened butter to make mixing easier. Sift the matcha powder to prevent lumps and help create an even green colour. Add milk gradually so the dough doesn't become too sticky. If the dough feels too soft, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes before shaping. Avoid overbaking the cookies, as they will firm up while cooling. Leave enough space between them on the tray to allow for spreading.
