These Sweet Potato Cookies with Maple Glaze are so yummy – I love them and I know you will too! Yes, sweet potato sounds like a weird ingredient to add to cookies, but it really works! The best thing about these cookies is the maple glaze on top.
To make these cookies, start by whisking flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
Separately, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in sweet potato, egg, and vanilla and beat before adding dry ingredients and mixing until just combined. Stir in chopped pecans. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and just set. As the cookies bake, make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar, syrup, milk, and pinch of salt. Drizzle the glaze over the cookies and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
To make Sweet Potato Cookies with Maple Glaze, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, combine 2¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
Beat 1 cup of butter with ¾ cup of brown sugar and ½ a cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Once light and fluffy, add ¾ cup of sweet potato puré, 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract and continue beating until fully blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweet potato mixture and mix well. Stir in 1½ cups of chocolate chips.
Scoop one inch balls of the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between cookie balls to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Combine 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of milk and a pinch kosher salt until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cookies.
Sprinkle with chopped pecans and serve.
