Easy Bake: Matcha Chocolate Chip Soft Cookies
There’s something irresistible about the combination of earthy matcha and melty chocolate chips. Slightly crisp on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside - these matcha soft cookies are the perfect afternoon treat or tea-time companion.
At Honestea & Co., we believe in simple pleasures. This recipe is beginner-friendly, oven-ready in minutes, and best made with our Hana Premium Culinary Matcha for that vibrant colour and bold flavour. Trust us - your kitchen will smell divine.
Ingredients (makes 10–12 cookies)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Hana Matcha (or Akari for a more balanced tone)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½–¾ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions - Let's Get Baking!
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
3. Cream the Butter
In another bowl, cream the softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Then add in the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
4. Combine
Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips (save a few to press on top later).
5. Shape & Bake
Scoop dough into small balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and space them out on your tray. Press extra chocolate chips on top if you’re feeling fancy.
Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are set but the centre still looks soft. Let cool on the tray for 5–10 minutes before moving to a rack.
Optional: Sprinkle Sea Salt
A tiny sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top while they’re still warm? Chef’s kiss!
Why We Love It
These cookies are rich yet balanced - sweet with just the right touch of bitterness from the matcha. The bold green hue from our Hana Matcha holds up beautifully, even after baking, making them just as pleasing to look at as they are to eat.
They're the kind of cookies you make once… and then again the next day. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
