This recipe for White Chocolate Chip Matcha Cookies is based on the household favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies, but with an Asian twist. The creaminess of white chocolate chips is a great compliment to the light Matcha flavor in these cookies.
These White Chocolate Chip Matcha Cookies taste like a creamy matcha latte, but you won’t accidentally burn your tongue unless you gobble them up straight out of the oven. The weather has been too scorching in my part of town this week for a hot latte, so these cookies make the perfect substitution.
Things You’ll Need for This Recipe
- This Culinary Matcha Powder is the exact brand I used. But you can find some kind of culinary matcha powder at pretty much any Asian grocery store.
- A large ice cream scoop like this one will create the perfect cookie dough portions.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
Recipe Tips and Tricks- The recipe instruction calls for a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. But if you don’t own a stand mixer, a regular hand mixer will work just fine. However, when you mix in the chocolate chips, just use a spatula or wooden spoon and fold them into the batter. Otherwise, the blades on the hand mixer will chop up the chocolate chips.
- I like to pre-portion the cookie dough before I refrigerate because it is much quicker and easier to do this when the dough is still soft.
- The pre-portioned cookie dough also freezes well in a parchment paper lined, air tight container. To bake frozen dough, let thaw at room temperature until soften first, and bake as normal.
Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend! Stay cool or stay dry my friends, wherever you are. And don’t forget to make some of these cookies for dessert if you’re having a Labor Day BBQ.

Would you happen to have the measurements in weight? I want to try this recipe, but I do not want to over measure the flour and potentially ruin the final product. Thank you. 🙂
Hi Nicole, I’ve been going through old recipes to retest and add weight measurement but haven’t got to this one yet. I’m going to guess this will be about 280-290 g for the flour. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Perfect, thank you so much! 🙂
