Ingredients

  • 120 g soft butter, softened
  • 150 g brown sugar (such as Gervoise)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 180 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 teaspoons matcha tea powder
  • 100 g white chocolate, cut into pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 6) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter with the brown sugar until creamy.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract little by little, then mix until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and matcha. Gradually fold this mixture into the previous one.
  5. Add the white chocolate pieces and mix gently.
  6. Form balls of dough (about 85 g each) and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned but the center is still soft.
  8. Leave to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
