# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
07 - 1/4 cup light brown sugar

09 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Add-ins

10 - 2/3 cup freeze-dried strawberries, roughly chopped
11 - 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy, approximately 2 minutes.
04 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.
05 - Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Take care not to overmix to maintain tender texture.
06 - Gently fold in the freeze-dried strawberries and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
08 - Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft.
09 - Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Let your dough rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking if you want thicker cookies with even more chew
