Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter room temp.
- 100 g light brown soft sugar
- 135 g white sugar finely granulated e.g. caster
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 215 g plain all-purpose flour see notes for self-raising flour swap

- ⅛ teaspoon salt optional
- 10 g matcha (green tea) powder

Instructions
- Pre-heat oven: 195°C / 175°C (fan) / Gas Mark 5½ / 390°F
- Cream together the butter and sugars until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder and matcha, then add the salt and mix together until combined.
- Add in the chocolate chunks, stirring through the dough until just evenly spread throughout.
- Roll the dough into balls slightly larger than a walnut, and spread across baking trays lined with greaseproof paper. Refridgerate for 30mins for a thicker cookie.

Notes
Storage: Store your matcha cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing: You can freeze your matcha cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Substitutions:
- Swap the plain flour for self-raising flour and exclude the baking powder.
- You can use all white or all brown sugar of the same total amount.
- Use high-quality culinary or ceremonial-grade matcha powder for the best flavour and bright green colour.
- Chill your cookie dough balls before baking for a thick and chewy cookie, or skip this step for a thin and crispy version.
- The cookies will spread as they bake so leave a few inches of space between balls on the tray.
- Let the cookies cool on the tray before moving them so they don't break.
