Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 45g unsalted butter, melted
  • 70g sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Approx. 5 drops vanilla extract
  • 70g cake flour, sifted
  • 5g high-quality matcha powder
  • 2g baking powder
  • 1g baking soda

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, in a large bowl, add 45g of smoothly melted unsalted butter.

Step 1

Step 2

Add 70g of sugar and a pinch of salt. Gently mix with a whisk until the sugar is slightly dissolved. There’s no need to overmix at this stage.

Step 2

Step 3

Add 1 egg yolk and about 5 drops of vanilla extract for extra flavor. Whisk until all ingredients are smoothly combined into one mixture.

Step 3

Step 4

Now it’s time to add the dry ingredients. Sift 70g of cake flour, 5g of aromatic matcha powder, 2g of baking powder, and 1g of baking soda directly into the bowl. Sifting helps prevent lumps and ensures the dry ingredients are well incorporated into the batter.

Step 4

Step 5

Using a spatula, mix until about 90% combined, just until you no longer see dry flour. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.

Step 5

Step 6

Once the batter is partially mixed, add 30g of sweet chopped white chocolate and 25g of crunchy chopped macadamia nuts. Mix them in gently.

Step 6

Step 7

Use the spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, mixing until everything comes together into a cohesive dough.

Step 7

Step 8

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 40 minutes. This chilling period helps firm up the dough, making it easier to shape and improving the final cookie texture.

Step 8

Step 9

Divide the chilled dough into portions of approximately 51g each. This will yield about 5 cookies.

Step 9

Step 10

Roll each portion of dough into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread during baking.

Step 10

Step 11

Gently flatten each dough ball with your palm to create a disc shape. This step helps the cookies bake evenly and results in a nicely shaped final product.

Step 11

Step 12

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 13 minutes, after reducing the temperature to 170°C (340°F). Oven temperatures can vary, so adjust baking time as needed.

Step 12

Step 13

As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, while they are still warm, use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to gently shape the edges into perfect circles. This will give your cookies a clean, professional look.

Step 13

Step 14

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Handle them gently to prevent breakage.

Step 14

Step 15

Arrange the fully cooled cookies on a plate for a beautiful presentation.

Step 16

Enjoy your delicious White Chocolate Matcha Cookies, featuring a delicate matcha aroma and delightful white chocolate sweetness!
