Adventures in cooking and baking.
These marbled ube cookies start with a vanilla dough, half of which is flavored with ube, a yam with a sweet subtly vanilla flavor and a bright purple color.
These cookies are soft and chewy. They also have a bit of crunch from a generous topping of festive sprinkles!
Ube pandesal is a bright purple and uniquely flavored variation of the classic Filipino breakfast and snack roll, the pandesal.
This ube pandesal, a tasty roll flavored with purple yam, has a sweet, faintly nutty, vanilla-ish flavor. It is a newer twist on the popular Filipino breakfast treat. I made it three ways, plain, filled with ube jam (halaya), and filled with cheese. It is so good!
