Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato (cooked and cooled)
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and honey. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed into a uniform dough.
  2. Shape the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop spoonfuls of the dough and shape them into cookie-sized rounds, placing them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are set and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid overbaking to keep them moist and chewy.
  4. Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve once cooled or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Ensure the sweet potato is fully cooked and well mashed for the best cookie texture.
  • You can add a pinch of salt to enhance flavor if desired.
  • Optional add-ins include chopped nuts or raisins for extra texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • These cookies are naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats.
