Soft matcha cookies with a molten white chocolate center that flows beautifully when warm. A vibrant green dessert with a creamy lava surprise in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (155 grams) all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (6 grams) matcha powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 small white chocolate chunks (about 120 grams total)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Scoop portions of dough, flatten slightly, place a white chocolate chunk in the center, and wrap the dough completely around it to form a ball.
- Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving to let the molten center settle slightly.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels too soft.
- Do not overbake to maintain the molten center.
- Use high quality matcha for vibrant color and smooth flavor.
- Reheat baked cookies for 10 seconds in the microwave to restore the lava effect.
