Preheat your oven to 330F / 165C and gather all your ingredients. The egg and butter should be at room temperature before you start making this recipe.
Combine the butter, golden sugar and icing sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
70 g Plant Based Butter (unsalted), 105 g Golden Sugar, 45 g Icing Sugar
Add the egg then stir in the vanilla bean paste and almond extract.
Add the flour, baking soda and salt to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
150 g All Purpose Flour, 1/2 tsp Baking Soda, 1/4 tsp Salt
Fold in the white chocolate chips then the non pareils.
100 grams Vegan White Chocolate Chips, 55 grams Non Pareils
Using an ice cream scoop, add the cookie dough to the prepared trays, leaving space between them to spread. I usually add 6 to each tray.
Bake at 330F/ 165C for 12-14 minutes (see note). I recommend baking two trays at a time (12 cookies), one tray per shelf. Allow to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes then transfer the parchment paper and cookies to a cooling rack.

Notes
This recipe makes 12-16 medium sized dairy-free cookies, depending on the size of the scoop that you use.
To bake on a regular cookie tray, reduce the baking time by 2 minutes (to 12 minutes). I like to remove the cookies as soon as the edges are starting to brown as they will continue to bake for a few minutes on the pan once removed from the oven.
For gluten-free cookies, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend. For vegan cookies, substitute the eggs with 1 flax egg or 50g apple sauce.
