Ingredients:
– 3/4 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup vegetable oil
– 1 egg
– 2 cups ube jam
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 cups flour
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Optional: violet food color
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and vegetable oil until creamy.
2. Add the egg and mix until frothy, and the color turns light.
3. Incorporate the ube jam and vanilla extract, then beat until fully combined.
4. Gradually mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Use a spatula or an electric mixer with a dough hook. The mixture will be quite sticky. Add violet food coloring if you wish to achieve a richer purple hue.
5. Cover the dough and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight. Alternatively, freeze for at least 2 hours.
6. Take a spoonful of the chilled dough, about 1 to 2 inches in size, and drop it into a bowl filled with powdered sugar. Roll the dough in the powdered sugar to coat completely.
7. Place the coated dough balls on a baking sheet, ensuring they are at least 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes. After baking, let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
