Makes 24 Cookies

Ingredients:

½ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon Pureblend Matcha

Whisk ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon Pureblend Matcha together in small bowl. 

Set aside  

2 cups all purpose flour

2 tablespoons Pureblend Matcha

¾ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, room temperature 

½ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 ½ tablespoons honey

1 egg

1 egg yolk

2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest

1 cup white chocolate chip

1. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and remaining 2 Tbsp. Pureblend Matcha in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, honey, and ¼ cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk, and lemon zest and mix until very pale, about 4 minutes.

2. Reduce mixer speed to low and, with motor running, add flour mixture; mix until no dry spots remain. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix in white chocolate.

3. Wrap dough in plastic and chill at least 2 hours and up to 5 days. If chilling more than a few hours, let dough sit at room temperature 1 hour to soften before scooping and baking.

4. Preheat oven to 350°. Scoop the dough by the scant tablespoonful onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 1” apart. (Or, for neat and tidy cookies with perfect edges, like the ones in our photo, portion same amount of dough into the cups of a mini muffin pan coated with nonstick vegetable oil spray.)

5.  Bake cookies, until bottoms and edges are barely golden and cooked (top will no longer look wet), 8–10 minutes.

6. Immediately—but gently—toss cookies in reserved matcha sugar and place on wire racks; let cool.

Store cookies airtight at room temperature up to 2 days.
