Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure; ensure it's measured properly for best results.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps cookies rise; baking soda can be used in equal measure if needed.
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda Works alongside baking powder for leavening.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; use kosher or sea salt for the best taste.
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Adds richness and moisture; substitute with coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness and helps cookies spread; roll dough balls in extra sugar for a crisp exterior.
  • 1 large egg Binds ingredients and helps with moisture; for a vegan option, use a flax egg.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Provides depth of flavor.
  • 2-3 teaspoons ube extract Adds unique flavor and color; ube powder or syrup can be alternative options, though results may vary.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for 30-Minute Ube Marble Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Whisk together and set aside.
  3. Using a mixer, beat together ½ cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add one egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Divide the cookie dough into two portions, adding 2-3 teaspoons of ube extract to the larger portion and mixing until vibrant purple.
  6. Form balls from the ube dough, adding 1 tablespoon of plain dough to each. Aim for each ball to weigh around 50 grams.
  7. Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden and the centers are soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your butter is at room temperature for the best creaming with sugar. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture. Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
