Sweet Potato Oatmeal Cookies Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In medium mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently stir in the nuts, raisins, and chocolate chips.
-
Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, arranging them 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound by hand or with the back of large spoon. Bake until golden brown and just set, about 15 minutes.
-
Transfer to wire racks and cool for 5 minutes. Remove the cookies from the baking sheets to the wire racks and cool completely.
