Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium sweet potato (about 8 ounces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Place rack in the upper third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Clean and scrub sweet potato, pierce all over with a fork, then roast directly on the oven rack for 40 minutes, until fork tender in the thickest part of the potato. Once cool enough to handle, peel away the skin, mash, and measure out 1 cup of puree for baking the cookies. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and brown sugar until thick and smooth. Slowly mix in the oil, applesauce, and vanilla.
  • Carefully fold the sweet potato puree into the wet ingredients.
  • Add sweet potato mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Fold in by hand, just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not over mix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Drop cookies by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart (they will look fairly small). Bake for 9-11 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to let cool completely.

SWEET POTATO PIE COOKIES



Sweet Potato Pie Cookies image

If sweet potato is your pie of choice then these cookies are for you: They channel all the flavor of that Southern favorite in a fun two-bite package. The crust comes together quickly and gets pressed into a mini-muffin tin, no rolling necessary. We bake the crumble topping separately to keep it crisp and easy to put on the cookies after they come out of the oven. Any extra would be great on ice cream, yogurt or fruit-or make a double batch and keep it on hand for a quick topping for a future baked dessert.

Time 3h

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 large sweet potato
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Nonstick cooking spray
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Steps:

  • For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potato in several places and place it on a baking sheet. Bake until very tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool. Scrape the flesh into a bowl and mash until smooth. Measure out 1 cup purée; reserve the remaining purée for another use.
  • Place the 1 cup sweet potato purée in a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, for the crust: Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low just until combined to form a smooth dough.
  • Roll the dough into 24 (1-tablespoon size) balls. Press a ball into each muffin cup, covering the sides and bottoms to make cookie crusts. Refrigerate to firm up the crusts, about 30 minutes.
  • While the crusts chill, make the crumble topping: Toss the flour, pecans, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss well with a fork until the mixture clumps together with some crumbs and some larger clumps. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
  • Pour the filling into the chilled cookie crusts and bake at 350 degrees F until the crusts are golden and the filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Let the cookies sit in the pan until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack. Press the cooled crumble topping onto the cookies and let cool before serving.

SWEET POTATO COOKIES



Sweet Potato Cookies image

Soft, and moist kinda like a cake mix cookie. This is a great way to use leftover sweet potatoes. I got this recipe from Holidays Of The World Cookbook For Students. This recipe is from Trinidad & Tobago. They My family is not big sweet potato fans thought they were good. When I made this recipe I used Splenda brown sugar for the brown sugar. I also thought 4 tsp. baking powder was way to much so I only used 1 tsp. I also left out the coconut as my family is not fans of coconut.
