A fragrant ube dough is marbled with a classic vanilla dough for a vibrant cookie that is unlike any other. For the ube flavour, I use a mix of ground ube (or purple yam) powder and ube extract, both can be found at Asian grocery stores or speciality kitchen stores. If you have never had ube before, it is a purple root vegetable with a nutty, vanilla-like flavour. I love it in all desserts but there's just something about a bright purple cookie that catches my attention.
