# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The earthy bitterness of matcha balances the white chocolates sweetness like they were always meant to be together
  • These cookies stay perfectly chewy for days, if you can manage not to eat them all in one sitting
02 -
  • Matcha can vary wildly in flavor intensity, always taste a tiny bit of your powder first so you know what you are working with
  • Overbaking even by one minute transforms these from chewy to crumbly, so set that timer and trust it
03 -
  • If your dough looks too soft, chill it for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading
  • For extra fudgy centers, slightly underbake and let them finish on the hot baking sheet
