Servings 36 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cup flour all-purpose
  • 1 1/3 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon optional
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar (white or coconut)
  • 1 chia egg
  • 1 3/4 cup sweet potato pureed and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line two large baking sheets

  2. In a medium bowl combine the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon (flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt). Set aside.

  3. In a large bowl, beat together the vegan butter, eggs and both types of sugar. Mix for about two minutes until creamy and light, add in vanilla and sweet potato puree and mix for about 10 more seconds until combined.

  4. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients. Combining together for about 20 seconds. 

  5. Mix in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon being careful not to overmix.

  6. Scoop the dough in about golf ball sized dough balls onto the baking sheet, flatten down these balls to achieve a thin chewy cookie like in these photos. If you don't flatten it down to about 1cm thick cookie will be cake-like and will stay close to the ball shape.

  7. Cook for 17-20 minutes until the edges of the cookies just start to visibly brown.
