Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon high-quality matcha powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup salted butter softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons 16 g cornstarch
- 300 mL cold milk oat milk, almond milk, or regular milk
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 50 mL warm water
- ¾ cup 177 g chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark, or white)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch until fully combined. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened salted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer or a whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well incorporated. In a small bowl, combine the cold milk, honey, and warm water, stirring until the honey dissolves, then pour this liquid mixture into the butter-sugar mixture and blend.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spoon or spatula until everything is fully incorporated. You should have a thick dough.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the Cookies:
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small balls of dough, placing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden but the center is still soft.
Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooled, serve the cookies with a glass of milk, and enjoy the delightful fusion of matcha and chocolate flavors!
