Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted for smooth batter
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder leavening agent
  • ½ teaspoon salt to balance sweetness
  • ½ cup granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 7 oz ube jam or ube halaya room temperature, about 1 cup
  • ½ cup canola oil or vegetable oil, for moist texture
  • 2 large eggs beaten, room temperature
  • 3 teaspoon ube extract enhances ube flavor
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar for coating cookies

Instructions

  • Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, blend granulated sugar, ube jam, and oil until smooth and fully combined.
    Metal mixing bowl with purple ube jam, oil, and sugar ready to be combined for cookie dough preparation, placed on a dark surface with a cloth napkin.
  • Taste the mixture and adjust sugar if needed, as ube jam sweetness can vary.
  • Add the beaten eggs and ube extract to the mixture and stir until uniform.

  • Gradually add the dry flour mixture in thirds, mixing on low until just combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
  • Cover the cookie dough with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Coat each thoroughly in confectioner's sugar and place 1-2 inches apart on the prepared sheet.

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the tops crack and appear matte. They will be soft but will firm as they cool, so avoid overbaking.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are delightfully soft and melt-in-your-mouth, with the perfect ube flavor. Chill dough for best texture and watch them crackle to perfection in the oven.
