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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.

Step 4

Add the ube halaya, egg, vanilla extract, and ube extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined, with a uniform purple color.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
