Ube Crinkle Cookies

Soft and chewy purple yam cookies with a crinkled top, dusted with powdered sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in ube halaya and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
  4. Chill dough for 30 minutes for easier handling.
  5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then coat each in powdered sugar.
  6. Place balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges set.
  7. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use fresh ube halaya for the best flavor.
  • Chilling the dough prevents excessive spreading.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
