If you’ve never enjoyed this sweet vanilla-like yam from the Philippines, you are missing out! Let your first introduction to ube be this small batch ube cookies recipe<\/strong>. It’s based on my classic sugar cookie recipe but with Oreos and ube flavoring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve never had ube (the Filipino purple yam), then you have probably never had Filipino food, and that, my friend, you must remedy right this second. Filipino food is absolutely delicious. After your first bite of pancit<\/a><\/span>, you will be hooked. And I highly doubt you’ll ever make chicken again without turning it into chicken adobo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ube is a very sweet yam that has a very distinct earthy, vanilla flavor. It’s almost as if a single roasted ube is dessert on its own! (It totally is, by the way). However, we’re going to add even more sugar and vanilla and make ube cookies because this is a cookie blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea to combine ube and oreos comes from my best friend, Jinny, who owns a donut shop. Every May, she makes Asian-inspired donut flavors to celebrate AAPI month. Last May, she turned her usual cookies and cream donut into an ube Oreo donut, and it sold really well! It was so fun to be in the kitchen with her that month! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, thank you, Jinny, for inspiring this cookie flavor combo! We’re using a small bottle of super potent ube flavoring to make these ube cookies and cream cookies. I use the leftover flavoring in small batch rice krispies treats<\/a><\/span> (and also in sugar cookies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
