Matcha White Chocolate Cookies

On the 1st day of the holiday cookies series, my true love gave me, Matcha White Chocolate Cookies! Green Matcha, White Chocolate Chips, and Sugar Cookie dough come together in a beautiful, holiday green treat.

Furthermore, Matcha White Chocolate Cookies are eggless, tender, and the perfect pairing to hot coffee, cocoa, or tea during the cold, winter days. Finally, these festive cookies make terrific holiday gifts for family and friends!

Allergen Friendly

Matcha White Chocolate Cookies are allergy-friendly, especially for those with an egg allergy. Instead of using an egg, I substituted it for Carbonated Water. Carbonated Water, in my opinion, is one of the BEST egg substitutes for baking.

Furthermore, this 1 ingredient replacement yields baked goods that will make you question how there isn’t an egg in the recipe. Finally, substitute 1/4-1/2 cup of plain, Carbonated Water for 1 egg and watch the magic happen!

In addition to the Carbonated Water, if you need a gluten-free cookie, you can substitute the flour for King Arthur’s 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour. Finally, this cookie is not only delicious and festive, but it is a cookie that everyone with an egg allergy can enjoy!
