Recently, I have been making a lot of taro-flavored desserts. I found this bubble tea powder that you can add to baked goods, and it will make them taste like taro. My latest creation is these Taro Cookies and it may be the best one yet. They are super soft, chewy, and packed with taro flavor.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350°F
Whisk the flour, taro powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat for another minute until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again until fully mixed. If the butter and egg mixture splits/curdles, you can add a tablespoon of the flour mixture and mix until it re-emulsifies.
Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
Scoop out approximately 1 and ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie and place them onto the prepared baking sheets with some space between each piece.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges turn brown. I recommend checking on them at the 9-minute mark to prevent overbaking. Let cookies cool on a baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Storing: Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to one week or in the fridge for up to 10 days.
