Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup Cooked Sweet Potato Provide natural sweetness and moisture; can be boiled, steamed, or baked
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Gluten-free flour base; can substitute with other gluten-free flours
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon Adds warmth and flavor; consider nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a twist

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Baking pan
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cooking the sweet potatoes until fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes if boiling or steaming, or 45-60 minutes if baking at 400°F (200°C). Let cool before peeling.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed sweet potato with almond flour and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Divide the dough into 12 portions, rolling each into a ball. Place on the baking pan with space between them and flatten slightly.
  5. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes until set around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
  6. Allow cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
