Matcha Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are the perfect flavourful mix of matcha and chocolate. Chocolate chips and matcha powder give them a perfect balance, not too sweet but still just as delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp 16 grams cornstarch
- 1⅓ c. 167 grams all-purpose flour (measured by weight or fluffed using the spoon-and-level method)
- ½ c. 114 grams salted butter - melted
- 1 tbsp 15 grams matcha powder - high-quality, culinary grade
- ½ tsp 2 grams baking soda
- ½ c. 110 grams light brown sugar, packed
- ⅔ c. 133 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg - room temperature
- 1½ tsp 7ml pure vanilla extract
- flaky sea salt - for sprinkling optional
- ¾ c. 177 grams chocolate chips - semi-sweet, dark, or white
Instructions
- Place the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and matcha in a medium bowl. Mix well until blended and set aside.
- Mix the melted butter with sugars, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
- Into the wet ingredients, slowly mix the dry ingredients until blended. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using plastic wrap, tent the bowl and place it in the fridge to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F. Using parchment paper or a silicone baking liner, line a large baking sheet.
- Scoop out the dough using a small cookie scoop and place the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. It is okay if the middle of the cookies still looks underdone as they will continue to cook a little as they cool.
- If desired, sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. Enjoy!
Notes
1. In baking, I usually use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, simply add 1/4 tsp of salt to the dry ingredients.
2. Always use a kitchen scale to measure the dry ingredients. This guarantee that the cookies will spread. Also, ensure soft and chewy cookies. Or use the spoon-and-level method if a kitchen scale is not available.
3. Feel free to add extra 2 tbsp flour to the dry ingredients if you prefer slightly thicker cookies.
