Ube Coconut Cookies
2nd day of Cookiemas! This is a crowd pleaser. I often get requests to make these for potlucks
Ingredients
- 384 grams all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 227 grams butter room temperature
- 2 teaspoons ube extract
- 2 eggs
- 100 grams unsweetened coconut flakes chopped
Instructions
- Beat the butter and sugar together until the butter is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add eggs and ube extract. Mix together until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the coconut flakes, and mix the dry ingredients together.
- With the stand mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients a little bit at a time, just until combined (do not over mix).
- Using a 1 ¾ inch ice cream scoop, scoop out the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
- Bake in a pre-heated 350ºF (175ºC) oven for 10-15 minutes, or just until the edges of the cookie has set (do not over bake).
- Allow cookies to fully cool before enjoying
