Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Ube halaya (purple yam) spread
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ube extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
Add the ube halaya, egg, vanilla extract, and ube extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined, with a uniform purple color.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. The cookies may appear soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
