Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy.
- Add the ube puree, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using nuts, fold them in at this stage.
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden, and the centers appear set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure your ube puree is smooth to avoid lumps. Store cookies in an airtight container; they will last up to a week at room temperature, 1 month in the fridge, or 3 months in the freezer. Experiment with mix-ins and toppings for variety!
