Ube Crinkle Cookies

Ugly Duckling Bakery

These ube crinkle cookies turn the nutty, vanilla flavor of ube into a chewy crinkle cookie for a purple twist on a classic.

Ube Crinkle Cookies Ingredients

What's ube halaya?

Ube halaya is ube jam. You can buy ube halaya by the jar or make it yourself.

Is ube the same as purple sweet potato?

No, ube is a yam from the Philippines. Genetically, ube is very different from sweet potatoes, even this purple one pictured here.

This recipe uses melted butter beaten into eggs and sugar rather than the creaming method used in many ube crinkle recipes. That gives these crinkles a chewy texture.

Making Ube Crinkles

To get the classic crinkle look, scoops of cookie dough are coated in confectioners' sugar before baking.
