Ube Crinkle Recipe is fudgy, moist, and soft cookies rolled in confectioners sugar and flavored with ube. These all-time favorite crinkle cookies are perfect as snacks and desserts.
Equipment
1 Oven
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup ube halaya
- 2 teaspoon ube extract
- ½ cup confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix until everything is well blended.
- In a separate bowl, combine egg, melted butter, ube halaya, and ube extract. Stir everything until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients, one cup at a time, to the wet ingredients. Using a silicone spatula, stir until everything is well combined.
- Cover and refrigerate the dough until it is firm enough to shape into balls. This will take an hour or longer. If you want to speed up the process, you can freeze the dough for 10-20 minutes.
- Scoop 1-2 tablespoons cookie dough and, using your hands, roll it into a ball.
- Thoroughly coat each ball with the confectioner’s sugar, then place it in the baking tray lined with a cookie sheet or a silicone mat. Make sure to space your cookies about 1-2 inches apart.
- Bake in preheated 350 °F (177 °C) degrees oven for 10-12 minutes. While every oven is different, start checking at the 10-minute mark.
- Transfer to a cooling wire rack to cool. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Tips:
-
- Preheat your oven before taking the dough out of the refrigerator and start rolling. This will eliminate waiting time.
-
- If you’re going to use your hands in rolling the dough, rub a bit of oil on your hands to minimize the sticking of the batter.
-
- This ube cookie dough must stay cold and firm while rolling into the powdered sugar. Once you coat the dough in powdered sugar, bake it right away to avoid the dough absorbing the sugar. This is a crucial step if you want to achieve that crinkle look of an ube cookie.
-
- Check the dough at the 10-minute mark to avoid overcooked cookies. Perfectly baked cookies are soft, chewy, and gooey in texture, not dry.
- Store in a container once it is completely cold. Leave it on the countertop and do not store baked cookies in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and moist.
