Baking Outside the Box This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time to indulge, experiment, and maybe surprise everyone at the dessert table. While the classic sugar cookies and gingerbread houses are timeless staples, why not shake things up this year? Enter Matcha Sugar Cookie Truffles—a festive, no-bake treat that’s as delicious as it is unique. With just the right balance of sweetness, creamy texture, and a hint of that smooth Matcha Nude magic, these truffles will quickly become your go-to for holiday gatherings, cookie swaps, or a little green holiday cheer for yourself.

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw cashew or almond butter
• 1 ¼ cups almond flour
• 3 tbsp coconut flour
• ½ cup vanilla protein powder
• 2 tbsp + 1 tsp melted coconut oil
• 2-3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 1 tbsp Matcha Nude 
• 1 ½ cups dairy-free white chocolate chips
• Natural Christmas sprinkles

Directions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cashew butter, 2 tbsp melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and almond extract. Stir until smooth.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the protein powder, almond flour, and coconut flour. Stir until you achieve a cookie dough consistency.
3. Chill the Dough: Place the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
4. Form Truffles: Roll the chilled dough into 14 balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.
5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the dairy-free white chocolate chips with 1 tsp coconut oil in the microwave (30-second intervals) or using a double boiler.
6. Add the Matcha: Sift the Matcha Nude matcha into the melted chocolate and stir until evenly combined.
7. Dip and Decorate: Dip the chilled cookie balls into the matcha-infused chocolate, ensuring each is fully coated. Place them back on the parchment-lined sheet and sprinkle with festive decorations.
8. Set and Serve: Let the truffles set completely before serving. Enjoy the perfect bite-sized holiday treat!
