Ingredients

½ cup dairy free/vegan butter, softened/room temp (we like the avocado oil or olive oil Country Crock Plant Butter sticks)
1 cup unbleached cane sugar (I use Zulka)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup King Arthur gluten free all-purpose baking mix
2 teaspoons culinary grade matcha powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup Authentic Foods superfine sorghum flour
¼ cup dairy free milk (such as rice, oat, almond, etc.)
¾ cup allergy friendly white chocolate chips (I used the Enjoy Life mini white chocolate chips)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the dairy free butter, sugar, and vanilla.
Add the gluten free baking mix, baking soda, and matcha powder, and mix well with a hand mixer.
Add the sorghum flour, and dairy free milk, and mini white chocolate chips and mix again until a thick dough forms that holds together and isn't sticky. You should be able to easily roll the dough into balls.
Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch sized balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. No need to press these down, they will spread on their own.
Bake for 10 minutes for softer cookies, or 11-12 minutes for crispier cookies.
Allow to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for 3-4 days (if they last that long!) or freeze them.

Notes

I like the taste of the matcha in these cookies, but if you find it too strong for your tastes, you can use just 1 teaspoon of matcha powder instead of 2 teaspoons.
