Description

The cookies are big and fluffy and moist with a very satisfying bite. Without the glaze they are lovely—a simple delicately spiced sweet potato cookie that’s perfect for someone looking for a lightly sweetened treat. However, once you pour on the marshmallow glaze they transform into a whole other cookie—sticky, sugary and perfect for someone needing a sweet-tooth fix!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE COOKIES:
  • 1 stick Butter, Melted
  • ½ cups White Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ⅔ cups Mashed Sweet Potato
  • 2-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (plus More For Sprinkling)
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ¼ cups Marshmallow Fluff
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, eggs and cooled mashed sweet potato until blended. Add the flour, baking powder, spices and salt and mix until just combined (do not overmix).
3. With floured hands or a scooper, roll level tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until puffed and the bottoms are pale golden, 10-11 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely before glazing.
4. Make glaze by combining Marshmallow Fluff, powdered sugar, milk and lemon juice in a small bowl and mixing with a fork. Once cookies are cooled, dip the tops of each cookie in glaze, sprinkle with cinnamon, and set on a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes. Tops will set, but will be sticky.

Makes: 13 big cookies.
