Ah don't these just look so indulgent! đ
New York Cookies are known for being large and irresistible. I have seen so many people try to recreate these cookies all over Instagram and Youtube. They have truly broken the internet! So i thought i would give it a shot and put my own little spin on the original.
For anyone who knows me or has been following my blog for a while, will know that i try to incorporate healthy ingredients into my cooking. Now Matcha is an ingredient that isn't for everybody. It has a very distinctive taste, almost grass-like as it made from tea leaves. There are so many benefits of Matcha (see below) and it's so good for the gut! It's nice to know that what you are eating is both delicious and good for you!
So here they are! A delicious Matcha chunky NYC cookie, with rich white chocolate chips and crunchy cashew nuts!
A Kinda 'Good For You Cookie'
Now i know that the traditional NYC Cookies contain the obvious; butter, sugar, chocolate etc..but these cookies have a few extra good for you ingredients!
Matcha
What is Matcha and where does it originate from? - Matcha is a green tea powder carrying benefits of whole tea leaves. Like all tea, Matcha is made from the tea plant Camellia sinensis. Tea cultivated specifically for Matcha is primarily grown in two Japanese regions: Uji in Kyoto and Nishio in the Aichi prefecture.
What are the health benefits of Matcha? - Matcha is rich in catechins, a class of plant compounds in tea that act as natural antioxidants. It can also protect the liver, boosts brain function, may help prevent cancer and can also help you to lose weight.
Cashew Nuts
What are the health benefits of cashews? - Cashews are low in sugar and rich in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein. They're also a good source of copper, magnesium, and manganese â nutrients important for energy production, brain health, immunity, and bone health.

Delicious Matcha chunky NYC cookie, with rich white chocolate chips and crunchy cashew nuts!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time - 1+ hours
Cook Time: 15-17 minutes
Total Time: 20-30 minutes
Servings: 9
Author: Zainab
Ingredients:
300gs plain flour
100gs soft light brown sugar
75gs granulated sugar
1 & 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder, heaped
1 & 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
125gs unsalted butter
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100gs cashews, roughly chopped
250gs white chocolate chips
Method:
1. Attach the paddle attachment to your stand mixture and add into your bowl, the butter and sugars. Beat for around 2 minutes on a medium speed or until the mixture has creamed together nicely. Alternatively you can do this part with an electric whist of with a wooden spoon.
2. Once creamed together, go ahead and add the egg and vanilla extract. Cream together for 20-30 seconds on a medium speed.
3. Add in the plain flour, matcha powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt and beat until a cookie dough is formed.
4. Then add in the roughly chopped cashews and white chocolate chips. Continued to mix until they are evenly distributed in the cookie dough.
5. Using a weighing scale, weigh out all of the of cookie dough and then divide that number by 10. I usually measure out 100-115gs. Push together very gentility to form a rustic cookie dough ball.
Note: Be careful not to round out the cookies or to smooth the tops of the cookies in any way. We want that classic NYC cookie cracked top.
6. Once you have formed one cookie dough ball, place on a metal baking tray or in a medium sized non-stick roasting dish (see notes for the one that i like to use).
7. Form other balls (you should have 9-10) and place in the freezer for a minimum of 1 hour.
Note: I like to freeze mine for about 3 hours or even leave some in the freezer and bake as i go.
8. Preheat the oven to 200C/392F.
Note: If you oven runs hot, bake between 160C-180C/320F-356F. Be sure to keep checking on the cookies and you don't want them to burn. You just want them lovely and golden brown.
9. Remove the cookie dough balls from the freezer and place on a baking tray/sheet lined with parchment paper.
Note: Be sure to keep around a 4-5 inch gap between each cookie as they will spread out! I use a standard sized baking tray and put 4-5 cookie dough balls on the tray.
10. Place in the oven and cook for 12-14 minutes or until the edges have slight browned and the cookies have flattened as shown in the photos above. If you find that they are cooking too fast, lower the temperature in your oven, vice versa.
11. Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave to cool for 20 minutes on the same baking tray. This will allow the bottom of cookies to still cook, giving it that lovely crisp bottom.
12. Once fully cooled, enjoy! âşď¸
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for around 4 days.
These are best eaten on the day of baking, but can be revived by microwaving for 15-30 seconds, or putting into a hot oven for 2-3 minutes!
You can freeze the raw cookie dough for up to three months. If you are baking straight from frozen after some time, add 3-5 minutes to the baking time!
If you prefer your cookies flatter, you can squish them down slightly before baking but I don't do this personally as i like the chunkiness!
If you would like to make smaller cookies then you can weight out 62gs of cookie dough each. This should make between 15-18 cookies. They will need to be baked for around 9 minutes.
I used this matcha powder.
I like to use these white chocolate chips.
I use these trays to freeze all my NYC cookie balls. They're great as they are non-stick!
