Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are basically a spin off from Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. For whatever reason, I figured that I could use mashed sweet potato. Its certainly easier than making mashed pumpkin and you don't have to buy it in a can. As a side note, just steam a cubed sweet potato and then mash it, its that easy.

The cookies came out lovely, very similar to pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I think there are some things I'd like to try though, like using whole wheat flour and maybe some oats as well, but one thing at a time :)

Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies

Heat oven to 350 degrees F

1 C Sugar
1 C mashed sweet potato (or probably lots of things)
1/3 C oil (though you could probably use other fats and even yogurt)
1 egg, beaten
1 t milk
1 t vanilla

2 C flour
1/2 t salt
1 t cinnamon
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda

1 C chocolate chips
1/2 C optional nuts

Mix dry, then mix wet (consider sugar wet). Mix together and add chocolate chips. Put on a lightly greased baking sheet (or use parchment paper). Bake for 10-14 minutes (largely depends on how you like them. I like mine a bit drier)
