Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure your butter is softened before mixing for a smoother dough.

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs Beat in the eggs one at a time until well mixed.
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Don’t overmix the dough after adding the flour; this keeps the cookies soft.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons hojicha powder For extra flavor, use high-quality hojicha powder.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional) You can also use nuts or dried fruits for variation.
