Step-by-Step Instructions for Ube Crinkle Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking trays with non-stick parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Pour in the ube extract and coconut extract, and mix gently until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients while mixing.
  6. If in a warm climate, refrigerate the dough for 10-15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  7. Roll the dough into balls about the size of a tablespoon, coating first in caster sugar, then in icing sugar.
  8. Place the cookie balls onto lined baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the tops are crackled and the centers remain soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
