- In a large bowl, mash 1 cup cooked sweet potato until smooth. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- **Option 1 (Drop Cookies):** Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- **Option 1 (cont.):** Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- **Option 2 (Rolled Cookies):** Chill the dough for at least 1 hour. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness.
