Instructions

1
To make the cookies, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl and whisk together.
2
Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
3
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
4
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Fold in the white chocolate chips.
6
Scoop balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7
Use the rim of your serving glass to gently press each dough ball into a circle, and use a straw or similar tool to poke a hole in the center.
8
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let cool completely.
9
To prepare the lattes, fill two glasses with ice.
10
Pour your milk of choice over the ice, leaving some room at the top.
11
In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder, hot water, and sweetener until frothy and no clumps remain.
12
Pour the matcha mixture over the milk in each glass.
13
If desired, top with cold foam.
14
Place a cooled matcha cookie on top of each glass, insert a straw, and enjoy.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Sift matcha powder into the dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure even distribution throughout the dough.
Shape the cookie while still slightly warm to drape it cleanly over the glass rim; it hardens as it cools and becomes brittle.
Whisk matcha with a small amount of hot water first before adding milk to dissolve clumps and create a smooth latte base.
Use melted butter rather than softened to ensure the dough comes together easily and the cookie spreads evenly on the baking sheet.

Substitutions

White chocolate chips → dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips (adjust sweetness to preference)
All-purpose flour → cake flour (use same weight; cookies will be slightly more tender)
Granulated sugar + brown sugar → 1 cup coconut sugar (flavor will be slightly earthier, texture less crisp)

Storage & make-ahead

Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days. Prepare the matcha base up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate; assemble with ice and milk just before serving.

Equipment

baking sheet · matcha whisk or milk frother (optional but recommended for smooth matcha latte)

Common Questions

How do I get the cookie to sit perfectly on top of the glass?

Bake the cookie flat on a sheet, and while still warm, drape or press it gently over the rim of your glass to set its shape. Let it cool and harden in place for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Can I make the matcha latte ahead of time?

Yes, prepare the matcha mixture and refrigerate it up to 24 hours. Pour over ice and add milk when ready to serve. Bake cookies fresh on the day you plan to serve.
