Yeah, this is the same recipe that I used two weeks ago for the pumpkin cookies.
Cookie Thursday is a Thing is nothing but exploratory. That means I experiment on my coworkers. They get cookies, I get to experiment in the kitchen. It’s all good fun.
I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin, I like the milder sweet potato.
The pumpkin cookies that I made two weeks ago were very popular. And since this month’s theme is Fall (so original, I know) I wanted to make two of the popular Fall “vegetables” into cookies.
The pumpkin ones went great, although the recipe was a snickerdoodle in disguise.
I just used the same technique on sweet potato, without the fiddly sugar dip in cinnamon sugar step. I was going to use ginger and sugar but I had a meeting that was starting in 15 minutes and the sugar dipping took so long and was so messy last time I just skipped that step. I think ginger sugar dipping would be delightful and I will stow that idea away for use in an upcoming Cookie Thursday is a Thing.
Without the sugar dip these cookies still turned out. They were soft and cakey (in a good way) and delicious.
This is one experiment that I wil have no problem replicating. Unless I change another variable.
Experiments for life.
Edit to add that I added the chocolate chips that I felt were lacking in the pumpkin cookies to half of the batch. Yep, the pumpkin cookies definitely needed chocolate chips.
