Equipment
- 1 oven
Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (extra for rolling)
- 2½ tbsp brown sugar or coconut sugar tightly packed
- a few drops of a natural store bought food dye mixed with 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- ¾ cup vegan white chocolate chips
- vegan friendly red heart shaped sprinkles/candies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease, or Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper
- In a large mixing bowl, add vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar/coconut sugar and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy (around 3 mins)
- Next, add the natural green food dye mix and vanilla extract, then cream together once more just to combine.
- To that add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, matcha powder and salt to the bowl. Mix together until the flour is evenly incorporated.
- Pour in the white vegan choc chips and red heart shaped candies and mix through.
- Scoop heaping tbs of the mixture and roll into balls, roll the balls in granulated sugar then place on the baking sheet.
- Bake the cookies on the middle rack in the oven, one tray at a time, for 10-12 minutes. The perfect cookie will have edges that are firming but the center will still look slightly underbaked. This will ensure you have the perfect chewy consistency.
- Remove the cookies from the oven. Allow one minute to cool ever so slightly on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Then. DEVOUR and enjoy these festive and fun holiday cookies!!!
Notes
** for a flat cookie, reduce baking soda and baking powder to a 1/8 tsp each or omit entirely.
** add as much or as little natural food dye as you’d like to achieve the shade of green that you would like best.
** if you like things on the sweeter side add an extra 1/4 cup of vegan white chocolate chips
