These Ube Crinkle Cookies have a soft, chewy texture and a vibrant purple color. They are coated in powdered sugar for a crinkled look. The ube flavor comes from ube extract and ube halaya (purple yam jam).

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon ube extract
  • 1/4 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, ube extract, and ube halaya until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  8. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should be set but the centers still soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough prevents excessive spreading and helps create the crinkled texture.
  • You can find ube extract and ube halaya at Asian grocery stores or online.
  • For a deeper purple color, add a few drops of purple food coloring if desired.
