Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar and granulated white sugar. Add the slightly cooled brown butter and mix until smooth.
  4. Crack in an egg and whisk until incorporated.
  5. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, toasted milk powder, and hojicha powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers are slightly underbaked.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
