How to Make Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
  3. Add 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato to the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
