Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp ube extract
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For make-ahead, freeze unbaked dough balls on a tray, then transfer to a bag; bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes. Substitute ube extract with 1/2 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam) for a more intense flavor. Serve with milk or tea for a delightful snack.
