Step-by-Step Instructions for Ube Crinkle Cookies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add 2 large eggs at room temperature and beat until fully combined, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of ube halaya and 1 teaspoon of ube extract, mixing until well incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Scoop out 1-inch balls of dough and roll in powdered sugar until fully coated. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are firm and tops are crackled.
  7. Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
