Quick & Easy! Ready in 30 minutes. No chill cookie recipe.
Hello! Welcome to my collection of recipes! This is a recipe for matcha brownie cookies. It’s exactly as the name suggests. It’s a brownie cookie that’s matcha flavoured. It really has it all. They are soft and chewy and very easy to make! All you need is a whisk! There’s no need for softened butter and no need to chill the dough. These cookies can be ready in under 30 minutes. If you don’t like matcha, I have a chocolate brownie version.
This is also a small batch bake! Don’t you just hate when a recipe says it makes 24 cookies? It’s fine if you’re sharing but if you’re just baking for yourself? there’s no need for that many! This recipe makes just 3 cookies. I’ll warn you though, these are on the larger side so if you want smaller cookies, you can divide the dough into 6 instead. These cookies also round up very well when baking! Watch the video to see the perfect circle they make once baked. Plus they have beautiful cracks throughout. They have a similar appearance to crinkle cookies, but they’re more like a cousin than a sibling. They have cracks but it’s much deeper and the cookie itself is flatter.

Instructions
This recipe makes 3 LARGE cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 365F (185C).
- Combine the butter and white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave. Set it aside.
- In a separate bowl, add the egg yolk and brown sugar. Whisk the two together until the sugar dissolves and the mixture changes from a brown to beige. (Refer to photos below).
- Add the melted butter and the melted white chocolate from earlier. Mix until it’s combined.
- Add all the dry ingredients (flour, matcha powder, salt, and baking soda). Mix until a batter forms. It will be thick.
- Divide the batter evenly into 3 balls. Each ball should be 2 tbsps. Make sure to give each ball room on the baking sheet as they spread!
- There’s no need to chill the cookies. Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet or wire rack.
- ENJOY!
