White Chocolate Matcha KitKat Cookies

These White Chocolate Matcha KitKat Cookies are the perfect blend of East meets West. Earthy matcha powder and rich brown butter give these cookies a deep, toasty base, while creamy white chocolate and crunchy KitKat bits add a sweet, playful twist. With soft centers and crisp edges, they’re a must-try for matcha lovers and cookie fans alike.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 32 minutes
Yields: 10–12 cookies

Ingredients:

  • 150 g all-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • 10 g matcha powder (about 1 tbsp)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 110 g unsalted butter (1 stick), browned
  • 50 g white sugar (1/4 cup)
  • 55 g light brown sugar (1/4 cup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 100 g white chocolate, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden with brown specks. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, and baking soda.
  4. In another bowl, combine browned butter with white sugar and brown sugar. Mix until smooth, then whisk in the egg until the mixture lightens in color.
  5. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in chopped white chocolate and crushed KitKat (if using).
  6. Scoop cookie dough onto the prepared tray, spacing well apart. Top with extra white chocolate or KitKat pieces if desired.
