The brother-sister duo at the helm of Butter Baker sure know how to pair masterful French techniques with innovative new flavours. After the insatiable craze for dalgona coffee overtook social media, with an attuned ear to the most relevant trends, of course Butter Baker concocted their very own version, a decadent Dalgona Coffee Cake. From vibrant-glazed cakes, macarons, soft serve and chewy cookies -- this bakery continues to dole out mouthwatering treats.

A fan favourite, the bakery's Matcha White Chocolate Chip Cookie, is the perfect balance of earthiness from the matcha and rich sweetness from the white chocolate. If you cannot find Uji matcha powder, you may use something else but powders from different brands or regions will have a slightly different taste.

Note: Bake two minutes less if you prefer softer cookies.
