Questions & Replies

Sorry to be so basic, but how did you prepare the Purple Sweet Potato for this recipe? -
What is uba -
What is UBE flavoring? -
Do I just need to simmer the Ube until soft and not make it into a jam to make the cookies? Will it be sweet enough without making the ube into jam?

Is the total cooktime accurate for this recipe? It says 35 minutes, but the 4th step says: "Form dough into a disc and wrap well with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight." Maybe the correct time is 2hr 35min or 10hr 35min?
