Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl Essential for mixing dough
  • Wooden Spoon Best for stirring the dough.
  • Baking Sheet Make sure it's lined with parchment paper.
  • Parchment Paper Prevents cookies from sticking.
  • Cooling Rack Helps cookies cool evenly.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined.
  • Gently fold in your chocolate chips, matcha powder, or other add-ins.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely

Notes

Recipe Notes:
  • Baking Tips: If you want a chewier texture, try refrigerating the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and gives a thicker, softer cookie.
  • Variations: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, such as nuts, dried fruit, or even pretzels, for an extra crunch. You can also use a combination of dark and milk chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies in a single layer and then transfer them to a zip-top bag. They can last up to 2-3 months in the freezer.
  • Allergy Information: For a gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You can also use dairy-free butter and eggs to make this recipe vegan.
