Sweet Potato Cookies

Yummy, wholesome little treats. While I wouldn't dole them out for dinner, these cookies are fairly nutritious - no refined sugar, whole wheat.

adapted from Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon

3 dozen mini cookies

1 cup cooked sweet potato
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup maple syrup
1 egg
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup raisins

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees
• Place all ingredients expect raisins in a food processor and process until well blended
• Transfer to a bowl and mix in raisins
• At this point, I divide the dough into thirds, wrap two portions in plastic wrap, and freeze them.
• Using the remaining portion of dough, form into small balls and place on greased cookie sheets
• Bake at 325 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. After approximately 5 min baking, press cookies down lightly with a fork
• Let cool completely
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator
