Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
• 1 whole Large egg
• 0.5 cup Ube halaya (purple yam jam)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ube extract
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for coating, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, ube halaya, vanilla extract, and ube extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined and the color is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If the dough is too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for about 20 minutes before proceeding.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. If desired, roll each dough ball in powdered sugar for a crinkle effect.

Step 8

Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops look slightly crackled. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the cookies to stay soft.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your soy-free ube cookies with milk, tea, or coffee!
