Baked ube crinkle dough makes for an ideal skillet cookie with its chewy center and crisp edges.

I also like doubling up on the ube flavor by piling ube ice cream on top of the cookie.

I prefer the store-bought ube halaya for this recipe in particular to achieve a chewy crinkle cookie.

Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.

With a small sieve, dust the entire surface of the cookie with the powdered sugar.

Bake for 32 to 35 minutes, or until the cookie has puffed up and set.

Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and serve warm with scoops of ube ice cream.
