Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk to combine 3 cups flour, the salt and baking powder; set aside. Coat a small loaf pan with cooking spray, then line with plastic wrap, tucking it into the corners and leaving plenty of overhang. Set aside.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and powdered sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping bowl as needed. Add the large egg and the vanilla; beat on medium-high until combined, about 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed.

Step 3

Add flour mixture; beat on low speed until combined; then increase speed to medium and beat until dough starts to clump together, scraping bowl as needed.

Step 4

Remove dough from bowl, knead lightly and form into a fat log. Using a bench scraper or knife, cut into two pieces, one about 1/3 of the dough, and the other 2/3 of the dough. Return the larger piece to the bowl, add the plain tahini, and beat on medium speed until fully combined. Remove from bowl and set aside. Add the smaller piece, ube extract & the Ube Pillow butter to the bowl and beat on medium speed until fully combined.

Step 5

On a generously floured surface, using a bench scraper or a knife, cut the white dough in half. Pat half the white dough into a 5-inch square. Cut the purple dough in half, then pat half the purple dough on top of the flattened white dough to match dimensions. Repeat with remaining white dough, then purple dough, so you have four alternating layers of white dough and purple dough. Cut in half crosswise, and gently knead and roll one piece to marble the two colors together. Repeat with the second piece of dough. Stack both pieces of dough together (they should be fairly soft at this point, so be gentle), and briefly knead the pieces together to form one dough.

Step 6

Press dough into prepared loaf pan, and fold the plastic wrap over the top to seal. Gently press down to even out the surface as much as possible. Chill until firm, preferably overnight, or at least a few hours and up to 3 days ahead, or freeze up to 3 months.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 325°F. Remove the block of dough from the loaf pan and unwrap it. Slice dough in 3 columns lengthwise and then 8 rows with a knife so you have 24 squares of dough. Cut each square into 1/4-inch thick cookie pieces (4 cookies per square of dough). Lay them out 1 inch apart on two parchment- or silicone mat-lined baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake until cookies are golden underneath, 18-20 minutes. Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Step 9

Grind the crackers in a food processor. Then, pack them in a measuring cup, like you would brown sugar.

Step 10

Combine all the ingredients (except the coconut oil) in a saucepan, and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves, and the mixture thickens to the consistency of apple butter.

Step 11

Allow the mixture to cool, until steam is no longer rising off of it.

Step 12

Then, pour it in a food processor with the coconut oil (which should be in a solid state). Blend until smooth and well-combined.

Step 13

Transfer the mixture to a jar, while it’s still warm and thin. Then, refrigerate for two hours. This will resolidify the coconut oil, and thicken your butter.

Step 14

Allow the cookie butter to come back to room temperature, so it will be spreadable, like peanut butter.

Step 15

This cookie butter can be stored at room temperature, and will be easier to spread, if you do.
