Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, rolled oats, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt to the mixture. Stir until the dry spices are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Gently fold in raisins or chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to create a uniform shape.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- • Make sure your sweet potatoes are well-mashed and at room temperature for the smoothest dough consistency. • Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. • For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of applesauce to the wet ingredients. • Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender. • For a protein boost, consider adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of chia seeds. • If you prefer a crispier cookie, flatten them more before baking; for softer cookies, keep them slightly thicker. • Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their perfect texture. • Experiment with mix-ins like dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, or chopped pecans for variety.
