Ingredients (Makes about 8 cookies)

  • Unsalted butter … 90g
  • Brown sugar (light) … 120g
  • Egg (medium size) … 1
  • Cake flour … 170g
  • Baking powder … 3g
  • Matcha powder … 18g
  • White chocolate … 100g (80g for mixing, 20g for topping)
  • Nuts … 30g (macadamia nuts recommended)
  • Freeze-dried strawberries … 30g

Instructions

① Cream the butter and sugar

Soften the butter at room temperature and beat until smooth.
Add the sugar and mix well until fully combined.

② Add the egg

Beat the egg and add it in 2–3 batches, mixing thoroughly after each addition.

③ Add dry ingredients

Sift the cake flour, matcha powder, and baking powder together.
Add to the mixture and mix until about 80% combined—it’s okay if some flour is still visible.

④ Add white chocolate, nuts, and strawberries

Add chopped white chocolate (80g), nuts (30g), and freeze-dried strawberries (30g).
Gently fold in until evenly mixed.

⑤ Chill the dough

Shape the dough into a log or disc, wrap in plastic, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

⑥ Bake

Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Bake for 30–35 minutes.

⑦ Top with white chocolate

After baking, top with melted white chocolate (20g) if desired.

Baking Tips

  • The dough won’t spread much on its own, so shape the cookies to your desired thickness before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 170°C and bake for 30–35 minutes.
  • If the tops brown too quickly, cover lightly with aluminum foil.
  • Cookies will be soft right out of the oven, but they firm up and get crunchier as they cool.
  • Let them cool

Tips for a Perfect Finish

  • Mixing the dough only about 80% is key to a great texture.
  • Add freeze-dried strawberries on top after baking for a prettier finish.
  • Feel free to swap in your favorite nuts or chocolate types.
  • Letting the cookies cool completely on the tray is the secret to that satisfying crunch!
