I'm really not sure where I found this recipe, but I've had it for years and have never made it! This is somewhat odd, because I adore sweet potatoes. These cookies are soft with a perfectly spiced sweet potato flavor and are full of chewy oats. I made these cookies a second time using chocolate covered raisins and chunks of heath bar and I loved them even more than the original!
Sweet Potato Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup sweet potato puree
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in the egg until well blended, followed by the sweet potato puree and vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg and beat on low until just blended. Add the oats and chocolate chips and beat until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into tablespoon sized balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the tops of the cookies just slightly. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until golden brown at the edges. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for several minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes 36 cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
