Matcha White Chocolate Cookies (Sugar-Free & Gluten-Free)

I’ve given this recipe a healthy, vibrant makeover. By replacing sugar with Xylitol and using a Gluten-Free flour blend, these cookies offer a guilt-free way to indulge in that signature "fudgy on the inside, crispy on the edge" texture.

Kochutensilien

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Handmixer
  • 1 kitchen scale
  • 1 Spartula
  • Bleche + Backpapier

Method
 

  1. Quick Instructions:

  2. Combine: Use a hand mixer to blend the softened butter, Xylitol, and Matcha powder for 20–30 seconds. (Don't over-mix!)
  3. Egg: Mix in the cold egg until just combined.
  4. Dry Ingredients: Fold in the GF flour, salt, leavening, and white chocolate chips until the dough just comes together.
  5. The Secret Step: Scoop the dough into balls and refrigerate overnight.
  6. Bake at 175°C for 12 –13 minutes.
The Hack:

Use a cookie cutter or glass to "scoot" the cookies into a perfect circle immediately after they come out of the oven.

    Why this is "Healthier":

    • Net Carbs: Because Xylitol is a sugar alcohol, most people subtract it from the total carbs. This makes the "effective" carb count very low (~8g per cookie), which is great for stable energy levels.
    • Sugar-Free: By using Xylitol and sugar-free white chocolate, you’ve eliminated the refined sugar spikes.
    • Matcha Boost: You’re getting a nice dose of antioxidants (EGCG) and a tiny bit of natural L-theanine for focus.
    "One of these vibrant green treats comes in at just under 190 calories. Thanks to the Xylitol swap, you get all the fudgy sweetness with a fraction of the sugar impact!"
