These matcha white chocolate cookies are BIG in capslock, chunky cookies that are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. They are full of matcha flavors that balance out perfectly with the creamy, sweet white chocolate chips and tart ruby chocolate chips.

If you love the thick, gooey center of a New York–style cookie and the calming flavor of matcha, this recipe is the ultimate fusion of both worlds. These cookies have a crispy golden edge, a soft chewy center, and pockets of melty white and ruby chocolate that make every bite indulgent yet balanced.

Why Matcha Makes Everything Better? (If you like Matcha)

Matcha isn’t just a flavor — it’s an experience in itself. Originating from Japan, this fine green tea powder has been loved for generations for its rich umami taste and natural goodness. In baking, matcha brings a pop of color and a deep, earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with creamy or sweet ingredients.

When you mix it into buttery cookie dough, matcha gives the classic New York–style cookie a new personality; more elegant, balanced, and full of character. The taste becomes layered: sweet but grassy, rich yet refreshing. It’s that soothing contrast that makes every bite feel special.

No wonder matcha desserts are trending everywhere — from cozy cafés in New York to stylish bakeries in Tokyo. Whether you’re a long-time fan or just getting into the matcha craze, these cookies are a fun and delicious way to experience its magic.

This recipe takes the iconic thick, gooey New York cookie and gives it a bold green twist. Cold butter and a short chilling time keep the texture soft and chunky, while white chocolate adds creamy sweetness and ruby chocolate brings a lovely fruity touch. A sprinkle of sea salt on top ties everything together, creating the perfect harmony of flavors in one indulgent bite.

Ingredients  of Matcha Cookies in New York Style

  • Cold Unsalted Butter cubed: I like to use unsalted butter and add salt separately! Helps the cookies stay thick and tender, creating that signature bakery-style bite.
  • Brown Sugar: adds moisture and makes the cookie more chewy.
  • Sugar: White sugar encourages browning and spreading in the cookie. Also, provides crisp edges and balances sweetness with the grassy tones of green tea.
  • Egg cold: I cold egg in this cookie recipe because they are easier to incorporate.
  • All-purpose Flour: This is the main dry ingredient. The balance between this ingredient and butter is what helps create the perfect cookie texture.
  • Baking Soda: You need to make the cookies rise and spread properly.
  • Matcha Powder: Use a high-quality culinary grade matcha powder or ceremonial grade matcha powder (my personal preference). Use your favorite matcha powder that has a vibrant green color and sweet taste.
  • Vanilla Powder: This adds a lovely creamy flavor when combined with the matcha. Balances the bitterness of matcha and deepens the aroma.
  • Salt: Just a little salt helps round out the flavor and balance the sweetness of the matcha cookies
  • White Chocolate: Matcha and white chocolate are perfect pairs!
  • Ruby Chocolate: Adds color, fruity acidity, and an eye-catching contrast. This is optional.
  • Sea Salt Flakes: Just a little salt helps round out the flavor and balance the sweetness of the matcha cookies.

How to Make Matcha Cookies in New York Style

Bake chewy Matcha Cookies in New York-style infused with vibrant matcha flavor, melty white chocolate, and ruby chocolate chunks!

First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Roughly chop the white chocolate and ruby chocolate, reserving some pieces for topping later.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, matcha powder, vanilla powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined, then set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy — about 5 minutes with a mixer. The cold butter ensures the cookies stay thick and rich.

Add the cold egg and mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.

Fold in the chopped white and ruby chocolate, saving a few pieces for decorating the tops.

Portion the dough into 100 g balls and press a few extra chocolate chunks on top.

Place the dough balls on the prepared tray and freeze for 15 minutes before baking. This helps retain their thick, gooey shape.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges turn slightly golden and the centers remain soft.

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt flakes. Let the cookies cool on the tray before serving.

Ingredients  of Matcha Basque Burnt Cheesecake

Get ready to fall in love with this matcha basque burnt cheesecake. It's an easy, delicious dessert that is ready and baked in under 1 hour!
  • Cream cheese (room temperature): This is the foundation of our cheesecake, providing its signature rich and creamy texture. Make sure to use room temperature, cold cream cheese will stubbornly clump, no matter how much you mix!
  • Sugar: Beyond sweetness, sugar plays a vital role in texture. It aerates the cream cheese as they’re beaten together, contributing to a lighter base. During the high-heat bake, it caramelizes, forming that desirable “burnt” top.
  • Matcha Powder: This is where the magic happens for our unique flavor and color. Matcha introduces an earthy, slightly bitter note that beautifully cuts through the richness of the cream cheese and the sweetness of the sugar, creating a balanced profile. Always opt for culinary-grade matcha for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Large Eggs (room temperature): Eggs are the primary binder, providing essential structure and richness. They help the cheesecake set as it bakes. Like cream cheese, using room temperature eggs ensures they incorporate smoothly and uniformly into the batter.
  • Heavy Cream: This ingredient is responsible for the incredibly moist, smooth, and custard-like texture that defines a Basque cheesecake. It makes the final product irresistibly silky.
  • Cornstarch: A brilliant stabilizer, cornstarch helps prevent the cheesecake from cracking and ensures a beautifully smooth, non-grainy texture. It works alongside the eggs to achieve the perfect set—not too firm, not too soft.
  • Salt: It balances the sweetness and richness, making all the other flavors

How to Make Matcha Basque Burnt Cheesecake

Get ready to fall in love with this matcha basque burnt cheesecake. It's an easy, delicious dessert that is ready and baked in under 1 hour!

First things first, preheat your oven to 225°C or 437°F. Line an 8-inch round baking pan or springform with a single piece of parchment paper. Let the paper extend past the edge of the pan and gently fold it down to hold it in place. This crinkled paper is what gives the cheesecake its signature rustic, imperfect look.

Next, in a large mixing bowl, use a whisk or hand mixer on medium speed to beat the room temperature cream cheese, sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Once fully combined, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the matcha powder and beat again until the mixture is a uniform green color.

Afterward, with the mixer on low speed, add the eggs one by one, whisking each time until just combined. Overmixing here can add too much air, which may cause your cheesecake to crack. Then, whisk in the cornstarch until it’s fully incorporated.

Finally, pour in the heavy cream and whisk until the mixture is well combined and has a smooth, liquid-like consistency.

Get ready to fall in love with this matcha basque burnt cheesecake. It's an easy, delicious dessert that is ready and baked in under 1 hour!

Bake, Chill, and Enjoy!

Now, pour the liquid batter into your prepared pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any large air bubbles, then use a toothpick or a knife to pop any remaining bubbles that rise to the surface. Place the pan on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 40-42 minutes. The cheesecake is ready when the top is a deep golden brown, almost burnt, and the center is still very jiggly when you gently move the pan.

Let the cheesecake cool completely on the counter for at least 2 hours. As it cools, the center will sink and continue to set. After it reaches room temperature, transfer it to the fridge for at least 4 hours to chill and fully firm up.

When you’re ready to serve, simply remove the parchment paper and cut the cheesecake into slices. The best way to enjoy this dessert is with a side of your favorite ice cream. Enjoy! Let the paper extend past the edge of the pan and gently fold it down to hold it in place. This crinkled paper is what gives the cheesecake its signature rustic, imperfect look.

Homemade Matcha Ice Cream

Homemade Matcha Ice Cream is the perfect refreshing sweet treat on a hot day. This matcha ice cream is rich, smooth, and has an amazing zen-earthy green tea flavor. It’s easy to make at home, and you only need six ingredients!

In this blog post, we’ll guide you through a simple and delightful recipe for homemade matcha ice cream using an ice cream maker. With the perfect balance of sweetness and the distinctive taste of matcha, this frozen treat is sure to become a favorite.

This rich and creamy matcha ice cream (green tea ice cream) is one of my favorite ways to enjoy matcha. Matcha ice cream has a refreshing and delightful flavor characterized by its earthy and grassy essence, complemented by a slight bitterness from the matcha powder and delicate sweetness from the sweetened condensed milk. The creamy and smooth texture adds to the refreshing sensation, while the umami flavor provides a rich and memorable experience.

Homemade Matcha Ice Cream is the perfect refreshing sweet treat on a hot day. This ice cream is rich, smooth, amazing green tea flavor.

Why Matcha Ice Cream is Worth Making at Home

Matcha has become a global phenomenon—swirling into lattes, baked into cakes, and of course, churned into ice cream. Like I do in my previous post, I made Matcha Cloud Peach Latte, Strawberry Matcha Crepe Cake and Matcha Croquant Choux…… and still I have the matcha ceremonial grade here. So, I think about making in homemade ice cream which is effortless and such a nice choice for the weekend.

That’s why making own matcha ice cream at home is a game-changer. You get a dessert that’s not only more flavorful and cleaner-tasting but also a celebration of the matcha itself. Whether you’re a matcha enthusiast or simply love crafting unique treats in your kitchen, this recipe will quickly become a favorite. And, don’t forget to give strawberry or other tart berry jam to match with this earthiness taste of matcha. You’ll thank me later!

Ceremonial grade vs culinary grade matcha powder

There are two main types of matcha, ceremonial grade and culinary grade.

Ceremonial grade matcha is more concentrated, higher quality, and usually a more vibrant green than culinary matcha powder. It has a fresh and sweet taste that would be lost during cooking or baking. It’s meant to be consumed directly or made into a drink with hot water. This higher grade usually comes at a much higher price point than culinary grade matcha.

Culinary grade matcha is meant to be used in cooking and baking. It’s usually a duller, yellow-green colour and the taste is more earthy and slightly bitter. Culinary grade matcha is designed to be added into food where it can withstand heat and being combined with other ingredients without losing its flavour.

Generally, For this ice cream, I used ceremonial grade matcha powder just because I needed to use rest of my matcha lol, besides I want to empty the stock. Also, I need quite a bit of matcha powder to achieve a strong taste when combined with the cream.

The ideal flavor of this refreshing treat should be a perfect balance of earthy, sweet, and slightly bitter. Because matcha is much more concentrated than regular green tea, you often don’t need much to experience its robust profile.

Moreover, one of my favorite things about making homemade ice cream is that you can easily adjust the flavors to fit your taste. You can make this recipe more or less sweet, or you can make it have a stronger or milder matcha flavor. So, hurry up let’s make this homemade Matcha ice cream!

Equipment

  • Ice cream maker

Ingredients  of Homemade Matcha Ice Cream

Homemade Matcha Ice Cream is the perfect refreshing sweet treat on a hot day. This ice cream is rich, smooth, amazing green tea flavor.
  • Matcha Powder ceremonial grade: The star of the recipe. It provides that vibrant green hue and authentic matcha flavor—delicate, grassy, and umami-rich. You can use both culinary-grade matcha powder and ceremonial-grade matcha powder. I use ceremonial grade will make an ice cream with a fresher taste and greener colour. Don’t forget to adjust the amount of matcha powder to taste if you’re using ceremonial grade matcha powder.
  • Heavy Cream;  Note that this recipe uses a bit more heavy cream than my classic no-churn ice cream; it provides creaminess and richness to the ice cream to be whipped into a thick mixture, until stiff peaks form.
  • Milk: This will create the thick base of the ice cream. Milk is an essential ingredient; it adds sweetness and contributes to the creamy texture. This is where you get your sweetness and keep it from being gritty. Whole milk is best for ice cream, although you can compensate for lower fat percentages by decreasing the milk a bit and adding some extra cream to make up for it.
  • Sugar: Since the taste of matcha is slightly bitter, I  add sugar here to make the ice cream perfect but not overly sweet. gives just the right amount of sweetness in combination with the matcha.
  • Egg Yolk: You can skip the egg, too. I add some to add tender texture, since I will use an Ice cream maker. Used for a custard-style ice cream. They add richness and stabilize the mixture for a silky finish.
  • Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla is a must for this matcha ice cream! If you have some homemade vanilla extract, feel free to use it here. I love pairing matcha and vanilla together as it mellows out the earthiness of the matcha.

How to Make Homemade Matcha Ice Cream

Homemade Matcha Ice Cream is the perfect refreshing sweet treat on a hot day. This ice cream is rich, smooth, amazing green tea flavor.

Start by placing the egg yolks and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer on high speed, whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth, fluffy, and pale in color. This step helps incorporate air and gives the ice cream a creamy, light texture.

Next, reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually pour in the heavy cream and milk, continuing to mix until everything is just combined. Don’t overmix, this is just to blend the liquids evenly.

Just using ingredients that are readily available in supermarkets, such as Matcha Powder, water, heavy cream, and others. It takes a total of 10 minutes to make. Serve this while relaxing with family or friends in hot weather.

What is Matcha Cloud Peach Latte?

This is a drink that combines matcha, peach, and milk foam. Matcha will give a calming effect, then there is peach, which gives a fresh fruit aroma, and foam to give a beautiful appearance. This drink usually consists of syrup or peach pieces at the bottom of the glass, cold milk in the middle, and matcha poured slowly on top. The top layer is covered with milk foam or whipped cream like a cloud.

To make this drink, only use ingredients such as Matcha Powder, water, heavy cream, and others. In making this drink, there are several important steps such as mixing the matcha with water, making foam, mixing the ingredients into a glass, adding the foam, and garnishing. The color of this drink produces a beautiful gradation. So, it is no wonder that this drink is often the choice of many people to be served in cafes or made at home.

Tips for Making This Drink

Here are some important tips for making this drink so that it tastes delicious, fresh, and beautiful.

Use Good Quality Matcha

Choose a light and smooth matcha powder so that the taste is fresher and not bitter. Premium matcha is usually softer and dissolves easily.

Use Peach Syrup or Fresh Juice

For a natural, fragrant peach flavor, use quality peach syrup or real peach juice. If using syrup, adjust the amount so it is not too sweet.

Type of Milk

Use cold milk according to your taste, it can be cow’s milk, almond milk, oat milk, or other plant-based milk. Cold milk will help form a soft “cloud” layer of foam.

Make Soft Milk Foam

Use a milk frother or small blender to make the milk foam as high as possible. This thick and soft foam is the characteristic “cloud” in drinks.

Layered Pouring for a Beautiful Look

First, pour peach syrup or juice on the bottom of the glass, then cold milk with ice, and finally slowly pour the dissolved matcha on top to form an attractive layer of color. Add fresh peach slices, mint leaves, or orange slices as garnish to add aroma and a more attractive look.

Sweetness Control and Flavor Strength

Taste while making to balance the sweetness, bitterness, and creaminess. You can add or reduce sugar and matcha according to your taste.

Use a Transparent Glass

To display beautiful layers of color, serve in a tall, clear glass so that the “cloud” visual is more visible.

The Texture of Matcha Cloud Peach Latte

Here is a description of the texture of this drink.

Soft and Creamy

The layer of milk and milk foam on top gives a soft and rich creamy sensation, making it feel luxurious and comfortable when we drink it.

A Little Thickness from Matcha and Syrup

The matcha solution and peach syrup give a little thickness, not too runny but not too heavy either, balanced with the smoothness of the milk.

Other Variants of Matcha Cloud Peach Latte

Here are some interesting variants of this drink that you can try for a different taste and experience.

Honey

You can add honey as a natural sweetener instead of peach syrup. The sweetness of honey and the smoothness make this drink more soothing.

The Calming Effects of Matcha

Matcha contains L-theanine, a natural compound that helps give relaxation and focus at the same time. Unlike coffee, which can sometimes make your heart race, matcha gives more stable energy and does not make you anxious, making it suitable to drink in the morning or afternoon to calm the mind.

Suitable for Various Moments

Whether to accompany work time, relax in the afternoon, or as a special treat when gathering with friends, this drink is suitable for any time. Its fragrant aroma and soothing taste make it suitable for all times.

Let’s make this simple, refreshing, and beautiful drink!

Ingredients of Matcha Cloud Peach Latte

  • 4 g Matcha Powder: The main ingredient that gives green tea its distinctive fresh and slightly bitter taste. This amount is enough to get a bright green color and a strong matcha taste, but not too strong, so it is balanced with the sweet taste of peach and creamy milk.
  • 40 g Water: To dissolve matcha powder before mixing with milk and other ingredients. The right amount of water keeps the matcha perfectly dissolved without being too runny, so the matcha flavor and color remain thick and smooth.
  • ⅓ cup Heavy Cream: Give the “cloud” texture or thick, creamy foam that is the characteristic of this drink. This ingredient also makes the latte rich, smooth, and has a soft layer of foam on top of the drink.
  • 4 tbsp Peach jam: The source of the sweet taste and aroma of the peach fruit. In addition to giving a fresh taste and natural sweetness, peach jam also adds color and a little texture to the drink, making it taste richer and fruitier.
  • 150 ml Milk: Adding a creamy taste as well as being the main liquid of the drink. Milk also makes matcha and peach softer and easier for us to enjoy. We can also adjust the choice of milk (cow’s milk or vegetable milk) for the taste and texture effects according to taste.
  • Ice: To keep drinks cold and fresh, we usually drink them cold. The ice also helps dilute the milk and peach jam a little, so the taste is balanced and refreshing.

How to Make Matcha Cloud Peach Latte
