Matcha Cookies

Ingredients

Dry
2¼ cups —all-purpose flour
1¼ tsp —kosher salt
1 tsp —baking soda
4 tsp —matcha powder
Wet
8 oz (1 cup) —room temp. unsalted butter
1 —scant cup granulated sugar
½ cup —brown sugar
1 tsp —vanilla extract
2 tbsp —almond milk
1 —large egg
Mixins
~1 cup —white chocolate chips
~1½ cups —chopped caramelized almonds (and/or hazelnuts, walnuts, macadamia nuts, etc)

Method

Make the cookie dough

  • Whisk the dry ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl
  • In another medium mixing bowl with a stiff spatula
    • Add the butter and sugar
    • Cream with a stiff silicone spatula
    • Add in vanilla, milk, and egg and whisk together
    • Switch back to the spatula and mix in the dry ingredients
    • Mix in the chocolate chips and almonds
  • Refrigerate dough until firm

Shape and bake

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Line a sheet pan with some parchment paper
  • Using a #40 scoop, portion out 8 cookies per sheet in a 3–2–3 pattern
  • Bake until the cookies spread out and the edges are starting to brown (~11 minutes)

Notes

To refrigerate, I think it's easiest to just transfer the whole mixing bowl, with the dough covered in contact with plastic.
