Sweet Potato Cookies Recipes

SWEET POTATO COOKIES

Steps:

• Place rack in the upper third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Clean and scrub sweet potato, pierce all over with a fork, then roast directly on the oven rack for 40 minutes, until fork tender in the thickest part of the potato. Once cool enough to handle, peel away the skin, mash, and measure out 1 cup of puree for baking the cookies. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and brown sugar until thick and smooth. Slowly mix in the oil, applesauce, and vanilla.
• Carefully fold the sweet potato puree into the wet ingredients.
• Add sweet potato mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Fold in by hand, just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not over mix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
• Drop cookies by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart (they will look fairly small). Bake for 9-11 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to let cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a bowl, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest, honey, nutmeg and egg until well blended, then mix in the sweet potato. Stir in the flour using a large spoon until just blended in. Form tablespoons of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 7 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are starting to brown lightly. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

SWEET POTATO PIE COOKIES

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potato in several places and place it on a baking sheet. Bake until very tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool. Scrape the flesh into a bowl and mash until smooth. Measure out 1 cup purée; reserve the remaining purée for another use.
• Place the 1 cup sweet potato purée in a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, for the crust: Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low just until combined to form a smooth dough.
• Roll the dough into 24 (1-tablespoon size) balls. Press a ball into each muffin cup, covering the sides and bottoms to make cookie crusts. Refrigerate to firm up the crusts, about 30 minutes.
• While the crusts chill, make the crumble topping: Toss the flour, pecans, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss well with a fork until the mixture clumps together with some crumbs and some larger clumps. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Pour the filling into the chilled cookie crusts and bake at 350 degrees F until the crusts are golden and the filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let the cookies sit in the pan until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack. Press the cooled crumble topping onto the cookies and let cool before serving.
