Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together sugar and vegetable oil. 
  2. Add the egg and beat until frothy and color becomes pale. 
  3. Add the ube jam and ube extract and beat again until well blended. 
  4. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix using a spatula or electric mixer with dough attachment. The dough will be very sticky. Add violet food color, if desired, to achieve a deep purple color.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or overnight. Alternatively, place in the freezer for at least 2 hours. 
  6. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  7. Scoop a spoonful, 1 to 2-inch in diameter, of chilled dough and drop into a bowl of powdered sugar. Roll dough in powdered sugar to thoroughly coat.
  8. Arrange at least 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. 
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven and let the cookies stand for 1-2 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Chill the dough in the refrigerator to make it easier to handle, and roll it into balls. This is also important to make the cookies tall and not flat.
  • If the powdered sugar is melting, especially in humid weather, coat the cookie balls lightly with granulated sugar before coating them heavily with powdered/confectioner's sugar.
