Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam) or ube extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Purple food coloring (optional)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoon coconut cream (or heavy cream with 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Make the cookie dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add the eggs, ube halaya (or extract), vanilla, and food coloring (if using), mixing until smooth. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until the dough is well combined.

3. Shape and roll the cookies: Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls and roll each one in the powdered sugar until fully coated. Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

4. Bake the cookies: Bake the ube crinkle cookies for 10–12 minutes, or until they are set but still soft. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Prepare the coconut cream filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, coconut cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until the filling is smooth and fluffy.

6. Assemble the sandwich cookies: Spread or pipe the coconut cream filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top it with another cookie to create a sandwich.

7. Serve and enjoy: Your delightful ube crinkle sandwich cookies are now ready to be served! Enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container for later.

Notes

To ensure your ube crinkle cookies turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:

Avoid Overbaking: Keep a close eye on the cookies during the baking process to prevent them from drying out. The cookies should be set but still soft when removed from the oven.

Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet filling, start with 1 cup of powdered sugar in the coconut cream and adjust to taste.

Experiment with Fillings: While the creamy coconut filling is divine, you can also try different fillings like cream cheese, chocolate ganache, or even a fruit preserve.

Store Properly: Store the assembled ube crinkle sandwich cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the unfilled cookies for up to 3 months.
