3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
1 teaspoon ube extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Step 1: Cream softened butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 2: Mix in the egg, ube halaya, and ube extract until the color is uniform.
Step 3: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients.
Step 4: Cover and chill the dough for at least 4 hours to ensure proper crinkling.
Step 5: Roll tablespoon-sized balls of dough in granulated sugar, then powdered sugar.

Ensure the dough is very cold before rolling to prevent the powdered sugar from melting.
