Ingredients
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp culinary-grade matcha powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mini marshmallows
(Optional) 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in marshmallows (and optional add-ins like white chocolate chips or nuts).
Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and space them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
