Ube Crìnkles are soft, moìst and burstìng wìth Ube flavors. These classìc cookìes wìth a tropìcal twìst are so easy to make and perfect for coffee or tea tìme.

Good Ube crinkles start with a good ube jam. Although extracts can help enhance the ube flavor, nothing beats the natural taste of pure purple yam jam. Good Shepherd Ube Halaya is our favorite, but I am sure there are other great quality brands available in the market as well.
