Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, matcha powder and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. (I usually soften butter in microwave for approximately 30 seconds. You don't want it to be a complete liquid, but you want the butter to be pretty soft or else it's hard to cream it properly.)
Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Stir in the regular semi-sweet chocolate chips, trying to spread evenly through cookie dough..
Make balls of cookie dough, about 1 inch wide and place on baking sheet, about 2 inches apart Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.
