Like our Ube Pancake Mix, Trader Joe’s Ube Tea Cookies take their name, their hue, and their flavor profile from ube (ooo-beh), a purple yam originating in the Philippines. The same brilliant bakers responsible for our Key Lime Tea Cookies blend an all-butter shortbread dough with vibrantly colored ube powder, warm cinnamon, and natural vanilla flavor to create the Cookies; as tea cookie tradition commands, after baking, they’re generously dusted with powdered sugar. The resulting two-bite Tea Cookies are ready to enjoy with a glass of iced tea, crumble over ice cream, or serve solo as a simple picnic dessert. Their arresting purple hue will draw you in; their delightfully singular flavor will keep you coming back for more. Note that you should come back quickly. We’ve secured a limited amount of Ube Tea Cookies, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.
