Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour 250g
- 1 teaspoon baking powder 4g
- ½ teaspoon baking soda 2.5g
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch 5g (or substitute tapioca starch)
- ¼ teaspoon salt 1.5g
- ½ cup unsalted vegan butter, melted 115g
- ½ cup unsweetened plant milk 242 mL
- ½ cup organic brown sugar 150g
- ½ cup organic granulated sugar 50g
- 3 tablespoon aquafaba aka liquid from a can of chickpeas
- 1 ½ teaspoon ube extract 7.5 mL
- 1 tablespoon powdered ube 10g
- ⅓ cup vegan white chocolate chips 87g
- ⅓ cup unsalted macadamia nuts 87g
- ⅓ cup unsweetened desiccated coconut 32g
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a full-size baking sheet (or two half-size sheets) and set aside. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, powdered ube, and salt. Set aside.
- Whisk together the melted butter, plant milk, and sugars. Add aquafaba, ube extract, and mix until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts, and desiccated coconut.
- Scoop 2 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with remainder of dough. Space cookie balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes on the center rack. To test for doneness, slide a spatula under the edge of a cookie. The cookie will be soft, but if the cookie holds it form and does not bend in the center, it is done baking. Transfer cookies to wire racks and allow to cool. Enjoy!
Notes
- Measure your ingredients by weight: For best results when baking, we recommend measuring your ingredients by weight rather than volume. Your ingredient measurements will be more accurate this way.
- Cornstarch substitute: You can substitute tapioca starch for cornstarch.
- Where to find ube products: You can find ube extract at your local Asian grocery store or online.
- Baking sheet size: You'll need one full sheet or two half sheet baking pans.
- Round cookie tip: For perfectly round cookies, place a round biscuit or cookie cutter around a cookie right after you take the cookies out of the oven. Move the cutter around the cookie in a circular direction to make it rounder.
- Bedazzle your cookies: Save an additional 2 tablespoon each of desiccated coconut, chocolate chips, and macadamia nuts to press into the cookie dough balls before baking. This will make for the most *aesthetic* cookies possible when they come out of the oven.
