Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the egg and beat until well combined. Gradually stir in all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
  3. Split the dough into two bowls. In one, fold in matcha powder until fully colored.
  4. Scoop dollops of both doughs onto a lightly floured surface, alternate colors and gently fold together.
  5. Fold in white chocolate chips evenly throughout.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), line a baking sheet with parchment, and drop rounded portions onto the sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
