Ube Cookies
These chunky cookies are made of an ube cookie dough with sweet white chocolate chips and buttery macadamia nuts. Ube (also known as purple yam) is a popular dessert flavour from the Phillipines and gives bakes this lovely vibrant purple colour. The texture of this cookie is gooey and almost molten in the centre. Each cookie weighs over 100g so they are pretty hefty, but you may choose to make them smaller too. This recipe uses both plain flour and cake flour (lower gluten content), but if you cannot find cake flour, just use plain flour instead.
The cookie dough should be made in advance as it requires freezing for at least 2 hours before baking, and can be left in the freezer for up to 3 months. This is perfect for when you are craving a sweet treat as you can just pop them quickly in the oven.
