⏱ 40 min, including 15 min chilling · easy · 🍽 serves 4

Ingredients

• ½ cup mashed cooked sweet potato
• ⅓ cup coconut sugar
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup Fancy Peasant Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
• 2 cups blanched almond flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, coconut sugar, egg, Fancy Peasant Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil and vanilla bean paste until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, then stir in the dark chocolate chips.
4. Chill the dough for 15 minutes so it firms up.
5. Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each one with the back of a spoon.
6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10–15 minutes before moving them. They firm up as they cool.
