Description
Soft, tender matcha cookies packed with crunchy Oreo pieces and finished with creamy white chocolate and extra Oreo toppings for a deliciously bold green tea treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp high-quality culinary matcha powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 10 cookies)
- Extra Oreo pieces, for topping
- White chocolate chunks or squares, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until the green color is thoroughly and evenly distributed.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light, creamy, and aerated.
- Beat in the room-temperature egg and vanilla extract until completely smooth and emulsified.
- Gradually add the dry matcha flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until a soft, bright green cookie dough forms.
- Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies using a rubber spatula so the black cocoa pieces disperse without over-working the dough.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into smooth balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just set while the centers remain soft and tender.
- Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a few extra Oreo pieces and a white chocolate chunk into the top of each warm cookie.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use high-quality culinary or latte grade matcha for a vibrant color and balanced flavor. Keep the Oreo pieces chunky rather than crushing them into fine dust. Add the white chocolate and extra Oreo pieces while the cookies are still warm so they adhere cleanly.
