Servings: 16 cookies
Calories: 167kcal
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup sweet potato puree I used canned
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 1/3 cup almond butter unsalted, creamy (or cashew butter or peanut butter for non-Paleo)
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons mini dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking slip mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, sweet potato puree, salt, almond butter, vanilla extract and coconut sugar. I used a standing mixer to do this.
- In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon, baking soda and almond flour. Slowly fold half the flour mixture to the liquid mixture.
- Add the coconut oil then add the remaining flour mixture. Combine just until the ingredients are dispersed. Then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Place the batter in the refrigerator 20 minutes to chill.
- Once chilled, scoop 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll into balls onto the baking sheet. The mixture will be sticky. I recommend you keep your hands damp with water during this process.
- Form the balls into cookies by pressing them into the pan slightly. Be careful not to flatten them. Just form them into cookies then press them up using your hands.
- Bake at 350 F 8-10 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges. Remove from the pan and carefully transfer to a wire baking rack to cool.
- Keep cookies in the refrigerator up to 1 week or in the freezer 1 month.
