Equipment
Ingredients
Ube Tea Cookie Batter
- 1 cup Ube powder
- ½ cup Flour
- ¼ cup Coconut milk powder
- ¼ cup Powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 1 Egg
- 4 oz Butter
Sugar Coating
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- ¼ cup Ube Powder
Instructions
- Make the Ube Tea Cookie Batter: Place the Ube powder, flour, powdered sugar, salt and coconut milk powder in a food processor and pulse for a few minutes until mixed. Cut the butter into cubes and put in the food processor. Pulse until the Ube Cookie mix looks like sand. Add in the egg and pulse until it becomes a soft dough.
- Rest the Ube Tea Cookie Dough: Line your surface with plastic wrap. Take the dough out of the food processor and flatten it a bit and wrap fully in the plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for an hour to rest.
- Roll Out and Cut Dough: Pre-heat oven to 300F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon mat. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out so that it is ½ cm thick. Then use a 1 inch in diameter cookie cutter to cut mini circles out of the dough. Bring the dough scraps together and roll it out again and cut more dough circles. Keep repeating until you have no dough left. If the dough starts to get sticky, place it in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden. I made 62 cookies.
- Bake the cookies: Place the cookies on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart. You will probably use two baking sheets.Bake for 15 minutes until the outside is crispy.Transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
- Coat the Cookies: Once the cookies are fully cooled. Add ½ Cup powdered sugar and ¼ cup ube powder to a ziplock bag. Place all the cookies in the back and seal well. Then shake until all the cookies are coated.
