Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies

It's my last day of vacation and I am celebrating with a new cookie recipe! A great way to spend a grey morning in the kitchen before the sun makes the deck too nice to resist. Today's temperature: low 60's.


Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes about 2 dozen, adapted from Fake Food Free 
I found this recipe on the blog, Eats Well With Others

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pureed sweet potato
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (just pulverize oats in food processor!)
  • 3/4 cup AP flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Mix in the sweet potato.
  2. In a separate bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, salt, and spices. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl. Scrap the sides and mix until everything is combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  3. Place cookies by the teaspoon or tablespoon full onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly browned. Remove from the oven, allow to rest 1 minute and then transfer to a cooling rack. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
Note: I found these cookies to be very sweet so next time I will use less brown sugar!
