Ingredients
For the cookies
- 15 ounces canned sweet potatoes, in syrup
- 1/2 cup Butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup white sugar, plus 1 tablespoon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
For the glaze
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
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.
