Description
These Matcha & White Chocolate Snowflake Cookies are a modern, subtly sweet spin on classic holiday cut-outs. Earthy matcha green tea pairs beautifully with creamy white chocolate chunks, all wrapped in a tender sugar cookie base. Shaped like snowflakes and finished with a dusting of sparkle, they’re eye-catching, crowd-pleasing, and easily made vegan with a couple of simple swaps.
Ingredients
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp culinary-grade matcha powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter (or vegan butter), softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water) or 1 regular egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chopped vegan white chocolate or regular white chocolate chunks
Optional: powdered sugar or decorative sugar for topping
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg or flax egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until a soft dough forms. Fold in white chocolate chunks.
Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough to ¼-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut with snowflake cookie cutters and place on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, just until edges are set. Cool on pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Dust with powdered sugar or sprinkle with festive sanding sugar once cooled.
