Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup salted butter room temperature
1 ¾ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 ½ tablespoons matcha powder
1 ½ cups white chocolate chopped (or white chocolate chips)
½ cup roasted and salted pistachios chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy and lighter in color, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until just combined.
Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and matcha. Beat until just combined (the dough may seem crumbly at this point). Add the white chocolate and pistachios, then use a rubber spatula to fold them in until everything is combined and the dough is holding together.
Roll 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and place evenly spaced on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still very soft in the center. Remove from the oven and let sit for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
If desired, while the cookies are still hot and fresh out of the oven, top with more chocolate chunks and sprinkle with more chopped pistachios.
