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
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 cup mashed sweet potato
• 1/4 cup canola oil

Directions:

• Pre-heat oven to 350*F.
• Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl. Blend well.
• Spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• 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.
• Eat and enjoy!

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.
