1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Halloween-themed sprinkles for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips if using.
Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Optionally, sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles on top.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
