Peanut Butter Sweet Potato Cookies

These cookies have a lovely orange color and are smooth and not overly sweet. For extra indulgence, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate chips. Either way, they're the bomb! 





Combine in a blender:

1 c. unsweetened apple sauce (best to put this in the blender first so it's at the bottom)
1 large sweet potato, peeled, quartered, and softened in the microwave
1 medium carrot
1/2 c. unsalted peanut butter
1/2 tsp. almond extract


Sift together:

2 1/2 c. white flour
1 c. granulated sugar

1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

Combine wet ingredients with dry, and then mix in 1/2 c. finely chopped peanuts.

Drop scoop onto a baking sheet and bake at 375 for 10 minutes, more or less. Serve with your favorite cold milk (non-dairy, of course!)
