Levain Style White Chocolate Ube Cookies
by JosephineThick, bakery-style cookies with cold butter, ube halaya, and white chocolate chips for a dense, chewy center. An easy Levain-inspired ube cookie recipe.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In your stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the cold butter and brown sugar until completely smooth.
Add in the egg, ube halaya, and ube extract. Mix until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in the dry ingredients. Mix for 2–3 minutes until a dough forms.
Add in the white chocolate chips and mix for another 1–2 minutes.
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, use two tablespoons to roughly portion out 5 large cookies. Avoid compressing or rolling them into balls.
Freeze the portioned cookie dough for 1 hour.
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 10–13 minutes until the edges are set and the tops are slightly crackled.
