I’m feeling a little burnt-out this evening, so I’ve decided to take the night off from blogging. All I really want to do is put on my PJs, watch a movie, and cuddle with my husband and puppy on the couch. I need to a night to recharge, ya know?
I did, however, muster up the energy to do some baking earlier tonight. 
Sweet Potato Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Makes 16 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350*F.

- Use a tablespoon to portion cookie onto baking sheet. Flatten cookies with back of spoon.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Cool on wire rack.

These cookies sort of taste like your regular oatmeal raisin cookies, but sooooo much better! 
I’ve already eaten 4 of these babies! They’re FANTASTIC! Firm on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside with a subtle sweet potato flavor and bites of coconut and raisins throughout. I love ‘em! Plus, it’s fun to sneak veggies into my desserts! I might just need to eat a 5th one!
Enjoy the night! I’m unplugging.

Awesome recipe! I featured this recipe with a few tweaks of my own @ http://mountainlovinmama.com/2010/10/pumped-for-pumpkin/.
Wow, those look amazing! I SO wish I had raisins at home right now!
Omigosh, those looks so good! The flavors and textures sound like such a winning combination.
I love this idea! I actually have a blog about creating every kind of recipe that contains sweet potatoes and I can’t wait to try this!
I’m going to try this recipe but with cranberries; who needs raisins!
