Sweet Potato Cookies

I changed the recipe a bit because I don't like raises in my cookies...so I substituted chocolate chips, of course. I also added more oats because that's how I like it.

3/4 C. unsalted butter, softened
1/2 C. sugar
3/4 C. packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 C. peeled, cooked, and mashed sweet potato
1 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. cinnamon
3/4 C. rolled oats
1 C. raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 350.

2. Using a hand-held mixer, mix the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until well blended. Add the egg and sweet potato and stir well by hand. Add all the other ingredients and stir.

3. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Drop teaspoon-size drops of cookie dough onto the parchment paper.

4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet.

SO YUMMY!!
