860405_296286173832157_1401256129_o I found a recipe for these recently and tried them after a race, they were absolutely phenomenal and lasted less than 24 hours in our house! They have the consistency of regular cookies so we couldn't even tell we were eating sweet potatoes! These are definitely a healthy treat after a tough training session. The recipe below makes 12 cookies. Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies   Prep Time: 10 minutes Baking Time: 30 minutes Wet Ingredients 2 whole eggs (4 egg yolks if you have a hystamine reaction to egg whites) 1.5 cups cooked mashed sweet potato (just short of 1 pound) 3 tablespoons coconut oil (options: ghee or unrefined unfiltered olive oil) 2 tablespoons gluten free vanilla extract Dry Ingredients 1/2 cup coconut flour, sifted 1/4 cup maple sugar or raw coconut sugar 1 teaspoon cream of tartar or baking powder 1/2 teaspoon celtic sea salt (optional) 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup gluten free chocolate chips   Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
