Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar plus more if doing a double roll, 150 grams
- 1 egg large
- 8 tablespoons butter unsalted, melted and slightly cooled, 113 grams
- 2 teaspoons ube extract
- ½ cup ube halaya ube jam
- ½ cup powdered sugar plus more if needed
Instructions
- Sift or whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small to medium-sized bowl.
- In a medium bowl if using a hand mixer or in the bowl of your stand mixer, mix the sugar and egg together on medium speed until it is light in color, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the melted butter and ube extract and mix together for 1 minute.
- Add the ube halaya and mix.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low or stir in by hand just until they are fully incorporated.
- Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 350°F and ready a small bowl of powdered sugar and two cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or silicone mats. If doing the double dip, ready a second small bowl with about one-half cup of granulated sugar.
- Use a medium (#40) cookie scoop or two spoons to scoop balls of dough one at a time into the granulated sugar first, if using, and then the powdered sugar. Toss to coat thickly and place on the baking sheets about two inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the middle of the oven. The cookies will be slightly firm to touch but the inside will look soft.
- Let cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
- Crinkle cookies can be stored for a week at room temperature.

Notes
- Chilling for a short time helps you scoop the crinkle cookie balls, but do not chill for too long or they will be hard to scoop.
- Rolling the cookies first in granulated sugar helps keep the powdered sugar from melting into the purple cookie.
- Crinkle cookies can be stored at room temperature, but they are best eaten within a day because the confectioners' sugar may melt into the cookie over time.
