This recipe is an ode to favorite cookies ever, the ‘mistachio’ (matcha, white chocolate, pistachio) cookies from The Evening Baker, a family-owned bakery in downtown Toronto. These are the cookies that bought me by postpartum after having my first baby, and I actually miss them now that I now not stay in Canada. After many makes an attempt, I’ve give you this recipe to duplicate them. They’re closest to a Levain Bakery/New York model cookie, thick and chunky, with calmly crisp edges. The bitterness of the matcha is splendidly balanced by the sweetness of the white chocolate, which, as soon as baked, caramelizes on the edges and backside of the cookies. The pistachios present the ultimate contact of nuttiness and crunch.Â
