Easy No-Chill Bakery-Style Matcha White Chocolate Cookies
These matcha white chocolate chip cookies are soft, chewy, and perfectly balanced with earthy green tea flavor and creamy white chocolate chunks. As a trained pastry chef, I love incorporating matcha into classic treats like cookies—it's an unexpected twist that feels both comforting and sophisticated. Whether you're already a matcha lover or just matcha-curious, these cookies are a delicious (and very photogenic) way to add something new to your baking routine.

- Scoop the cookie dough with a large cookie scoop (3 tablespoons) into balls.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookie is golden brown on the edges. Remove the cookies from the oven and use the edges of a large cookie cutter to scoot and round out the cookies into a perfect circle if desired. After two minutes, transfer to a wire rack, before cooling and enjoying!
Notes
How do I ensure my cookies end up in a pretty round shape?
I recommend using a spring-loaded cookie scoop, then gently rounding the dough balls with your hands. Then, after baking, grab a round cookie/biscuit cutter or a glass that is slightly larger than the cookies.
While they are still hot from the oven, place the cutter or glass over each matcha white chocolate cookie, then swirl your hand around in small, tight circles. The swirling motion will cause the edges of the cookie to collide with the glass or metal, pushing any wonky bits back into a perfectly circular shape.
