Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened ube jam (halaya)
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, softened (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 0.5 cups Granulated monk fruit sweetener (or other sugar-free sweetener)
- 1 pieces Large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Ube extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter (or coconut oil) and granulated monk fruit sweetener until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the unsweetened ube jam, egg (or flax egg, if vegan), ube extract, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but firm enough to shape.
Using a cookie scoop or your hands, portion the dough into 12 equal balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly using the back of a fork or your palm.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sugar-free ube cookies with a warm beverage or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
