BEST Ube Cookies Recipe | Soft Baked With Coconut and Without Ube Jam!

These are the best Ube cookies recipe ever, infused with coconut flavor and you don't need to use Ube jam (aka "Ube Halaya!). Check out the other Filipino-flavored cookies:

I've been making and selling the best Ube Coconut Cookies cookies for a while, and you FINALLY get to learn this recipe in this video 🎉🎉🎉
Ube is a purple yam from the Philippines, and it's tough to find real Ube here in the U.S.
Luckily, this recipe only requires Ube extract. I provided the link to the Ube extract below - you MUST use that brand!
I've tried using other Ube extracts to flavor these Ube cookies, but to make them the best, you gotta use this specific extract.
To make the best Ube cookies, follow my cookie making instructions step-by-step. Weigh out your ingredients using a kitchen scale (I gave you the link to that below too 😛)
I hope you try to make these incredible Ube cookies at home. Share these Ube cookies with family, friends, and whoever could use a little cheer in their day.
LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES in the comments! 🥰

Nice looks delicious..!

[@ellasegura6874]

Excited to try making this!!! I can't wait to wake up and make this HAHAHA. Hmm, what if I only have Ube Powder?

[@melissamayhaps8990]

Apparently ube is trending, but since we don't really have it in the US, people that don't know what it looks like go into stores and ask for it but are really looking for purple sweet potato (I guess preferred look?). I found this little snippet that was interesting: Also known as a purple yam, fresh ube has brown, bark-like skin, and flesh that ranges from white with purple specks to lilac. This tuber is a staple of the Filipino kitchen. It is well loved all over Asia as a dessert ingredient for its sweet and nutty flavor. However, in most cases, ube desserts are made with either grated frozen roots, powder, flavor extract, or jam (ube halaya), which are all available in Filipino or Asian markets. Purple sweet potatoes, however, are more commonly available to most consumers. Purple sweet potatoes have purple-tinted skin and violet-purple flesh; Okinawan sweet potatoes have beige skin and lavender-purple flesh.

[@23zchris]

UBE roots 1. They're Big 2. Ugly and 3. Irregular shape

[@Jeanelleats]

Omg I bet it’s delicious with brown sugar!! And yes pls try with the white chocolate chips...I bet it’ll be even more tasty!!!

Thank you for this recipe. Looks amazing! Just wondering if it's ok to use ube powder instead of the extract? Thanks a lot.

[@christinam5528]

I tried making these cookies a few times. I even bought a kitchen scale to make sure I followed the recipe to a T. My first 2 batches, the cookies didn’t spread at all & were more biscuit like. The last time I just made it, the cookies spread a bit, but not that much really. The texture is just ok. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve made plenty of cookies from scratch with no problem, but these cookies just don’t seem to not like me. 😂 I love ube & coconut, so I really wanted these to work out but not sure what else to do at this point 😢

[@queenhedadelrosario562]

Thank you. Tried putting Pili nuts on top to add crunch and it turned out good.

I just now found your channel. I had a Philipino friend from my late teens to my mid 30's. Sadly she passed away unexpectedly, I have never forgotten her and the amazing treats she would bring to work. We worked with disabled adults in a nursing facility. Sadly, they were used a lot before 2000s. Just seeing your shorts reminded me of some of her goodies, and I'm looking forward to watching your more recent videos to learn how to make the recipes myself. Thank you, & have a great day.
