Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well until creamy.
- Add the mashed sweet potatoes, egg, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until fully combined.
- In another bowl, blend the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Use a spoon or a cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Baking
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges. They may appear soft but will firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
