Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
These cookies start with a mixture of sugar, mashed sweet potato, vegetable oil, and an egg, which creates a smooth base. Dry ingredients including flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt are combined and gently incorporated to avoid overmixing. Half the chocolate chips are folded in the dough, and chilling the dough for an hour helps meld flavors and firm up the dough for easier shaping.
Cookie dough scoops are topped with the remaining chocolate chips and baked at a moderate temperature until the edges begin to brown, maintaining a soft center. The spices contribute subtle warmth, while the sweet potato adds moisture and a mild earthiness.
These cookies are suitable for a snack or dessert when you want a tender cookie with a slight twist from the sweet potato and spices. They pair well with tea or coffee and can be stored after cooling.
