Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes you'll need 2 cups mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 240 g
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats 130 g
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp each ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened in the microwave for 20 seconds, 1 stick, 112 g
- ½ cup brown sugar 110 g
- ½ cup white sugar 110 g
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 5 mL
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips OR chunks 250 g
Instructions
- Mash Potatoes: Peel and chop sweet potatoes into chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add sweet potatoes, cooking for about 15 minutes, until fork tender. Drain water and mash potatoes, then set aside to cool a little. You'll need a total of 2 cups of mashed sweet potato.
- Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl combine flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
- Wet Ingredients: Combine butter and sugars until smooth, then add egg and vanilla. Once sweet potato has cooled off a bit (should be warm, not hot) add it to the sugar mixture.
- Dries + Wets: Stir flour mix into sweet potato mix, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until slightly crisp on the outside (do not over bake! They may look soft in the center - that’s perfect!)
- Cool: Let cool on the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a container. For best results, gently squish each cookie with a spatula while they're still warm.
