    My sweet potato cookies have a soft and chewy texture; they are made with sweet potato, butter and semolina along with other few ingredients then topped with pecan for some crunchiness. They are absolutely amazing for breakfast or dessert; even kids love them so much, especially with their golden orange colour.

    Sweet Potato Cookies

    I love sweet potatoes so much, who doesn't! They are so healthy and naturally sweet. Adding them to cookies gives more nutritional value to these cookies and makes them tasty as well. This cookie recipe is a fantastic way to use the sweet potatoes leftovers you have in the fridge; consider making them, and I guarantee you won't regret it.
