Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- ¼ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter , melted
- 1¼ cup flour , sifted
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt

Combine ¾ cup (200g) of mashed sweet potatoes with the milk and melted butter, and beat well.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add to potato mixture and mix well. Add raisins if desired.
Pour the dough onto a floured surface. Knead, and roll out with a rolling pin to a thickness of ½ inch (1cm). Cut with a cookie cutter.

- Sprinkle additional cinnamon and sugar on top of the warm cookies.
Recipe Notes
- The consistency of the dough is moist and sticky. Work on a well-floured surface. - You can also add raisins to the cookies. - You can also spoon and drop the dough rather than rolling out. Slightly press them before baking.
