Few weeks ago, my daughter and I found a matcha latte mix in a local grocery store. We really wanted to try it but were a little skeptical at first. My daughter thought we could just get a small amount, so that’s what we did. To our surprise, it was very tasty ! And all you need is to do is add hot water or milk ! This has also given an idea to make this matcha chocolate chip cookies ! They are not the best looking cookies, but they sure taste good ! And don’t worry, you won’t turn into The Incredible Hulk after you eat them ! I actually had to make them twice to get the right taste, and as my daughter said, this second time is “matcha better” !
Makes about 24 cookies
- 120 g unsalted butter, softened
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 75 g demerara or brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 5 mL pure vanilla extract
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 7.5 g matcha (green tea) powder
- 2 g baking powder
- 2 g baking soda
- 1 g salt
- 90 g chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350ºF
- Sift together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside
- Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy
- Add egg and vanilla
- Add flour mixture in 2 to 3 parts, mix until blended
- Stir in chocolate chips
- Scoop into one inch balls and place on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, about 2 inches apart (Alternatively, you can roll them into balls, and flatten them slightly, they will have a smoother surface)
- Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes

hello! I’m planning to make this recipe but I want to put more matcha. Do I have to make any alterations in the recipe? Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi Zia, thank you for your message. You probably don’t need to alter anything unless you are adding a lot more. If it’s less than 5g , it should be fine. You can add a tad more of sugar if the dough is bitter for your taste. If you adding quite a bit more, you can cut back the same amount on the flour, Thanks!
