Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sweet potato puree (about 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and mashed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potato Puree: Cook and mash a medium sweet potato until smooth to yield about 1 cup of puree, ensuring no large lumps remain.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, melted butter, and egg thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar to evenly distribute the dry components.
  4. Mix the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until a uniform cookie dough forms, making sure all flour and oats are fully integrated.
  5. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  6. Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg spice to the dough.
  • Use gluten-free oats and flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
  • Reheat cookies slightly before serving to enjoy a warm, soft texture.
