Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Matcha green tea powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup White chocolate chips (ensure gluten-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing at low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips gently with a spatula.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your gluten-free matcha cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
