In a bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Add mashed sweet potato, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. - Combine dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. - Mix together
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until combined. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using. - Shape and bake
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. - Cool and enjoy
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
💡 Tips for Perfect Sweet Potato Cookies
