Notes
Storage Tips:
These cookies will keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days after baking. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Expert Tips:
The reason we bake these cookies at 325 degrees Fahrenheit is that matcha cookies brown easily in a hot oven. A lower baking temperature helps maintain the glorious green color! Take out of the oven just as soon as you see any browning around the edges of the cookies. We love the bang-on-the-counter trick for making the best chewy matcha white chocolate cookies around. It flattens the cookies a bit as they cool, making them a little more dense and chewy. Works with chocolate chip cookies, and with these as well!
