Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 12 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 lime zested (1 tablespoon juice)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Extra sugar for rolling
  • 1 cup dairy free white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the flour, matcha, baking powder, baking soda and salt together until evenly distributed.
  • With an electric mixer, cream the vegan butter, sugar and lime zest until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add lime juice, egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients, mixing between each addition, until everything is incorporated.
  • Place rolling sugar in a shallow bowl.
  • Scoop and roll dough into 2-tablespoon balls and roll in the sugar until coated.
  • Place cookies on prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies have spread and the tops are set.
  • Remove from the oven and allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool completely before adding the white chocolate drizzle.
  • In a double boiler with 1-inch of water, heat the white chocolate chips and coconut oil, stirring until melted.
  • Remove from heat and use a spoon to drizzle the chocolate onto the cookies. Garnish as desired while still warm.
