Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar

- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 2 tbsp Matcha powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 8 oz. Chopped white chocolate
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts chopped
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or an electric hand mixer cream butter and sugar in a large bowl for 4-5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer.1 cup Unsalted Butter, 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar, 2 whole Eggs, 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
- In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, matcha powder, and salt. With the mixer on low slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate and nuts, set some aside for sprinkling on top of the cookies if desired.2 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour, 2 tbsp Matcha powder, 1 tsp Baking Soda, 1 tsp Salt, 8 oz. Chopped white chocolate, 1 cup Macadamia nuts
- Cover and chill the dough for 30 minutes, or overnight if needed. Using a measuring spoon or a portion scoop, scoop even amounts of dough, about 1 oz. Use your hands to roll into smooth balls.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and arrange 2-3 inches apart on the prepared sheet pan.
- Bake for 8-11 minutes until slightly golden brown, the cookies will still be soft. Allow to cool 3-5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
*If chilling cookie dough overnight, allow the dough to come to room temperature before scooping. Or, chill slightly and scoop cookie dough before covering balls and chilling overnight.
*Macadamia nuts can be roasted or raw, I use roasted salted macadamia nuts. Make sure to chop them up so they distribute more evenly.
