• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and matcha powder. Set aside.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugars
   In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla
   Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
   Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the dough.

6. Fold in the White Chocolate
   Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Scoop and Bake
   Using a cookie scoop or spoon, divide the dough into 12-14 portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing each portion about 2 inches apart. For an extra touch, press a few more white chocolate chips on top of each cookie.

8. Bake
   Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be soft.
