Sweet Potato Pillows
These yummy snacks are not quite cookies, more like little tiny soft bread-like pillows. And in fact, that's what my daughter named them. They are slightly sweet and very satisfying. A great take along snack for toddlers too.
1 cup mashed sweet potato
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 cups sifted flour
1/4 cup flax meal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (can be ommited)
Mix together first four ingredients until well combined, add sugar. Sift together flour, flax meal, baking powder, salt and spices. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Add nuts (optional). Chill for one hour. Drop by the spoon full on cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 15-20 mins. These are done when slightly springy to the touch and/or a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!
