- Preheat oven to 375F/180C.
- Combine ¾ cup (200g) of mashed sweet potatoes with the milk and melted butter, and beat well.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add to potato mixture and mix well.
- Pour the dough onto a floured surface. Knead, and roll out with a rolling pin to a thickness of ½ inch (1cm). Cut with a cookie cutter.
- Place cookies on a lightly greased baking sheet or lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes or until cookies are light brown.
- Remove from baking sheet and place on wire rack to cool.
- Sprinkle additional cinnamon and sugar on top of the warm cookies.
Notes
- - The consistency of the dough is moist and sticky. Work on a well-floured surface. - You can also add raisins to the cookies. - You can also spoon and drop the dough rather than rolling out. Slightly press them before baking.
