Have you ever found yourself staring into the abyss of your pantry, craving something sweet but also wanting to be somewhat health-conscious? Or maybe you're trying to navigate the gluten-free world and feel like you're missing out on all the good stuff? Well, fret no more! I've got the perfect solution: Matcha White Chocolate Gluten-Free Cookies. And trust me, these aren't your average cookies. They're kinda special. One of my friends actually told me these were a total game changer.
Last weekend, I wanted to bake something that was both a little different and catered to my friend, Sarah, who's been on a gluten-free diet for ages. I was thinking of some matcha something, maybe some muffins, but it sounded boring to me. So I thought, why not cookies? But not just any cookie. These cookies combine the slightly bitter, earthy flavor of matcha with the creamy sweetness of white chocolate, all while being completely gluten-free. It's like a party in your mouth, but a sophisticated, gluten-free party.

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Alright, let's get started! First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is super important because we want those cookies to bake evenly. Trust me, a well-preheated oven makes all the difference.
- Next, grab a large mixing bowl. In it, whisk together 1 ½ cups of gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (make sure it contains xanthan gum!), 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. This step is all about ensuring that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed, so no weird salty bites later on.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, softened, with ½ cup of granulated sugar and ¼ cup of packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. If you're doing it by hand, get ready for a little arm workout!
- Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. You want everything to be nice and smooth at this point.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; overmixing can lead to tough cookies. And nobody wants tough cookies. Maybe it's the reason why those cookies are hard to chew at restaurants.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of matcha powder and ¾ cup of white chocolate chips. Make sure the matcha is evenly distributed throughout the dough for that beautiful green color and matcha flavor.
- Now, here's where the fun begins: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading. I find that using a cookie scoop makes this process a lot easier and ensures that all the cookies are the same size.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set. Keep a close eye on them, as gluten-free cookies can sometimes bake a bit faster. The centers should still be soft. If the edges are browning too quickly, you can tent the cookies with foil halfway through baking.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent them from breaking apart. If the cookies seem too soft, you can let them cool on the baking sheet for a longer time.
- And there you have it! Delicious Matcha White Chocolate Gluten-Free Cookies, ready to be devoured. They're best enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee, or maybe even a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You should store these guys in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
📝 Notes
- For a more intense matcha flavor, increase the matcha powder to 3 tablespoons.
- If you don't have white chocolate chips, you can substitute them with dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
