Notes

Expert Tips:

I use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop when making these cookies, but you can make them smaller, and without a cookie scoop. Just try to make them the same size for cookies to bake evenly.

Chocolate chips don’t melt like a chocolate bar. If you want deep pockets of melting white chocolate in your cookies, chop your favorite white chocolate bar and use it instead of chips.

Use a matcha powder that’s 100% matcha. Culinary grade matcha works great for this recipe.
