Equipment
- Stand or handheld mixer
- Baking sheet
- cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup ube powder
- 6 tablespoon non-dairy milk
- 2 teaspoon ube extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl with a handheld mixer), cream together the softened vegan butter, sugar and ube powder.
- Mix in the non-dairy milk and ube extract on low. Then, mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. You will have a thick cookie dough.
- Use your hands to roll a ball of dough, about 1-2 tablespoons worth. Roll it in sugar and place on a baking sheet. Slightly flatten the dough ball. Repeat until all dough is used.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13 minutes. Take the cookie sheet out of the oven and let the cookies rest for about 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Be careful when using the ube extract. It’s also a food dye and can stain easily.
- Make sure you lightly press down the cookie dough balls before baking. You can use a cookie scoop if you want to have even sized cookies.
