Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

Sift flour, matcha, baking soda and salt together in a bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter and white sugar together in a large bowl until blended ā we did it by hand but a mixer would work too. beat in vanilla extract, egg and egg yolk until light and creamy.

orig. recipe called for 1 1/2 cups of white chocolate. we felt this was excessive to the point that we removed chips from the dough by hand for the second batch.
