Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cookies
- In a large mixing bowl, add in brown and granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir together so the spices do not clump.
- Add in the butter and mix on medium until light and fluffy.
- Add in the sweet potato and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix on medium until combined.
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. Pour into the wet ingredients and mix on low until completely combined. The dough will be very thick.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop out dough and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the pecans for garnish on a plate. Hold each dough ball and sprinkle pecans over top.
- Using a floured bottom of a medicine cup or a finger or a spoon, make a print in the center of the cookie big enough to place the filling. I used the medicine cup because that's what I had handy. I just floured the bottom of it after each use so the cookie didn't stick to the cup.
Filling
- In a medium bowl, add in the melted butter, vanilla, and brown sugar. Mix until combined. Add in the pecans and stir. The filling will become thick like a paste.
- Place a spoonful of filling into each cookie. Be careful not to overfill the cookies otherwise the filling will bubble over.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until done.
