Steps

1

Bloom the matcha with vanilla extract and warm water in a small bowl. Mix with a spoon or spatula until it’s a spreadable paste with no clumps. Set aside.
2

In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, set aside.
3

Next, in another medium bowl cream the butter and sugar together. Once thoroughly combined add the matcha vanilla mixture, tahini, and salt. Beat until fluffy.
4

Fold in the dry ingredients. Once 3/4 of the way combined add the white chocolate chips. Once the dough is completed place in freezer for at least 30 min.
5

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking tray and pour sesame seeds onto a small plate. Roll dough into 1 1/2 tbsp spheres. Lightly press each ball into the sesame seeds. Place at least 2 in apart. Bake for 13-14 min. Once finished the bottom will be brown while the rest of the cookie will still be delicate. After 2 min on the baking tray move to a plate or rack to cool.
