Ingredients:
Produce:
- 10 g matcha powder
Refrigerated:
- 1 large egg
Baking & Spices:
- 153 g all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 70 g white sugar
- 50 g raw or light brown sugar
Dairy:
- 100 g butter
- 120 g white chocolate (chopped or chips)
Instructions:
- Brown the Butter : Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams, then turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and transfer the browned butter to a heat-safe bowl to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Dough : In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and whisk until fully combined and creamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients : In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in White Chocolate : Gently fold the chopped white chocolate or chocolate chips into the dough.
- Chill the Dough : Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Shape and Bake : Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out dough portions (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
- Cool and Serve : Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Conclusion:
These Brown Butter Matcha Cookies deliver a perfect balance of nutty, earthy, and sweet flavors in every bite. Ideal for gifting or savoring with friends, this recipe is a must-try for any cookie connoisseur.
