Vegan Ube Cookies 🍪🌱
I bought some Ube or purple yam powder to make colorful and tasty treats. These vegan cookies didn’t quite turn out as purple as I’d hope but they are delicious nonetheless.
🍪
1 cup coconut oil
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp chia seeds reconstituted with 9 tbsp water
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp ube (purple yam) powder
🍠
Preheat oven to 350, mix the coconut oil and sugar together till smooth and add the chia seeds. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine the two mixtures, I added a few tablespoons of soy milk bc it looked a little dry. Next I put some sugar and cinnamon in another bowl to roll 2 inch balls of cookie dough and add to the baking sheet.
They baked for about 10 minutes and I tapped them on the counter and put them back in for another minute. I let them cook on a make shift rack.
They were really nice but I would suggest to grind or rehydrate the chia seeds for longer.
