🍠 Why You’ll Love These Cookies
💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Cookies
- 🍠Cook sweet potato until very soft — bake, steam, or microwave it. The softer it is, the smoother your dough will be.
- 🍪Don’t overbake — they should look soft when you take them out. They firm up to a perfect fudgy texture as they cool on the tray.
- 🥜Use natural peanut butter — the kind with just peanuts and salt. Avoid brands with added sugar or palm oil.
- 🧂Add a pinch of sea salt on top before baking — it elevates the chocolate flavour dramatically!
