Ingredients

• 1 cup (143g) all-purpose flour

• 1 tbsp (7g) matcha green tea powder

Instructions

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

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cream butter & sugar: In a separate bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add egg & vanilla: Beat in egg and vanilla extract until combined.

5. Combine: Gradually mix in dry ingredients until a soft dough forms. Fold in white chocolate if using.
