CHOCOLATE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla; beat until creamy, about 2 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated, about 2 more minutes.
• Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; form into disks. Wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Roll out the dough between floured sheets of parchment paper until about 1/4 inch thick. Chill 2 more hours.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Mist 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Cut the dough into shapes; gather the scraps and reroll once to cut out more cookies. Arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until set, about 12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Make the icing: Beat the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder and 3 to 4 tablespoons water in a bowl with a mixer on high speed until smooth and thick. Transfer to a resealable bag and snip a small corner. Pipe onto the cookies; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Let set 30 minutes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt into a large bowl.
• Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. (Alternatively, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.)
• Beat in the egg until combined, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
• Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
• Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Use a 1-ounce scoop to scoop the dough onto two ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle the cookie with the flaky sea salt.
• Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the middle, 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through from top to bottom and front to back. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugars together in a large bowl using an electric whisk, or in a stand mixer until just combined. Crack in the egg and beat again. Stir through the vanilla, flour, bicarb, chocolate chunks and ¼ tsp fine sea salt.
• Roll the mixture into 10 even-sized balls between the palms of your hands. Arrange over the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 mins until golden brown at the edges. Leave to cool slightly on the sheets, then transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely, or eat warm with ice cream.

MATCHA-WHITE CHOCOLATE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoons matcha in a small bowl; set aside.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons matcha in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on mediumhigh speed, beat butter, brown sugar, honey, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk, and lemon zest and mix until very pale, about 4 minutes.
• Reduce mixer speed to low and, with motor running, add flour mixture; mix until no dry spots remain. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix in white chocolate.
• Wrap dough in plastic and chill at least 2 hours and up to 5 days. If chilling more than a few hours, let dough sit at room temperature 1 hour to soften before scooping and baking.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Scoop the dough by the scant tablespoonful onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 1" apart. (Or, for neat and tidy cookies with perfect edges, like the ones in our photo, portion same amount of dough into the cups of a mini muffin pan coated with nonstick vegetable oil spray.)
• Bake cookies, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until bottoms and edges are barely golden and cooked (top will no longer look wet), 8-10 minutes.
• Immediately-but gently-toss cookies in reserved matcha sugar and place on wire racks; let cool.
