Let's Get Baking!

Here's what you'll need to whip up these delectable treats:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

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

3. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Add Matcha Powder: Sift the matcha powder over the butter mixture and mix until evenly distributed and the batter is a uniform green color.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

7. Fold in White Chocolate: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

8. Form Dough Balls: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look soft; that’s okay as they will continue to set as they cool.

10. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delightful matcha and white chocolate cookies with your dinner club members!
