Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup unsalted pistachios roughly chopped

Instructions

Pistachio Matcha White Chip Cookies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Make sure your butter is softened for easier creaming.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha green tea powder. Make sure the matcha is evenly mixed to avoid clumps.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
  • Use a spatula to gently fold in the white chocolate chips and roughly chopped pistachios, ensuring an even distribution.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft. This keeps the cookies chewy.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For more crunch, lightly toast the pistachios before adding them to the dough.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
