Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prep Sweet Potato: Pierce a medium sweet potato and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes until soft, or roast at 400°F for 45-60 minutes. Mash until you have about ½ cup.
  2. Cream Ingredients: In a bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and mashed sweet potato until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Form Dough: Gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Bake: Scoop portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
  6. Cool: Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
