Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Drain the syrup from the sweet potatoes and place the sweet potatoes in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and 1/2 cup of white and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and pureed sweet potatoes until well combined.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
- Add the dry ingredients to the batter and mmix until well combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared cookie sheet. Dip the bottom of a drinking glass in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar and gently press it to the top of the cookies to slightly flatten.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely before glazing.
- Add the butter to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Melt the butter and continue cooking over medium heat, whisking constantly. Butter will foam as it cooks. Cook until the butter turns a golden brown.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the powdered sugar and whisk until you have a smooth glaze.
- Spread a small spoonful of glaze on each cookie.
Notes
- Canned yams may also be used.
