Place FATE and matcha powder in a medium sized bowl.  Stir until ingredients are evenly combined.

In a separate medium sized bowl, using electric beaters, on a medium speed, beat margarine 3min., until light and creamy. Add salt, icing sugar, and tapioca starch, beat on a low speed further 1-2min., until smooth and well combined. 

Place baking soda, and vinegar into a shallow dish.  Allow to fizz, and settle. Pour into creamed margarine mixture, along with the oil. Beat 1min., until well combined. 

Using a large spoon, gradually stir the FATE and matcha mix into the creamed margarine mixture.  Once combined, stir in white chocolate chips.  

Place extra FATE mix on a clean workbench, place dough onto this and knead to form a ball.  Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a cylinder approx. 4 cm in diameter and 18 cm long.

Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2hrs.

30min prior to baking, heat oven to 170°C.  Line 2 large baking trays with bakign paper.

Remove wrap from refrigerated logs. Slice each log into 12 even sized pieces. Using palm of hands, roll each slice into a ball, flatten slightly and place on lined baking tray.  

Bake in oven 15min. Remove cookies from oven and allow to rest on trays 5min. Remove from tray and place on a wire rack to cool.  (Cookies may appear very soft on removal from the oven, they will firm up on cooling).
