Sweet potato cookies with cassave flour

Iris Warren

Report

These cookies are a just a bit crispy on the outside and and soft and slightly chewy in the middle. They combine the soft taste of sweet potatoes with the more grainy texture of cassave flour. With coconut flower sugar and just a little bit of coconut oil. With the warm, comforting notes of cinnamon and vanilla.

Instructions

Preheat the oven at 390F or 200C.
Place the potatoes in an oven dish and roast in their skin for 35 to 45 minutes, depending on their size. Test if they are soft with a fork. You wil probably need 2 smaller or 1 large potato.
Let the potatoes cool. Then peel the skin of and mash. This can be done with a fork.
Mix the cassave flour with the sugar, the baking powder, the cinnamon and the vanilla
Mix the mashed potatoes and the flour.
Melt the coconut oil and add.
Make a ball of dough (by hand). If its very soft: set aside in the fridge.
Turn the oven back on (if needed). Prepare a baking tray and line it with baking paper.
Make six smaller balls by hand. Flatten them. If needed you can wet your hands (just a little bit!) to smooth the edges.
Bake for 18 minutes. Let cool a bit. The cookies can be eaten lukewarm or cold.
