Sweet Potato Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

I love nourishing my body will healthy food, but I also love to indulge in my fair share of sweets--hello sweet tooth! Since I can't eat dairy, I stick to vegan desserts whenever possible, but even though it's vegan doesn't mean it's always healthy. Anytime I find a way to make healthier versions of cookies, brownies, or cupcakes, I'm completely on board.

I found this sweet potato oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe on The Healthy Haff and absolutely had to try it. I know, sweet potato in a cookie? Sounds a little strange, right? It's actually so good, and you can't even taste it. The sweet potato adds extra vitamin A, vitamin C, and fiber that you most likely wouldn't get in a regular cookie.

These cookies are honestly my favorite treats I have ever baked. They're packed with good-for-you ingredients and guilt-free--if that's not the best of both worlds than I don't know what is. Let's get to baking!

Directions:

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl

2. Mix all wet ingredients in a bowl

3. Yep, you guessed it! Combine wet and dry ingredients in one bowl

4. Roll dough into balls then slightly flatten

5. At 375 degrees, bake cookies for 15-17 minutes then let cool

6. Enjoy your healthy cookie because yes, it is possible!

If you make these cookies, let me know in the comments below or tweet me @CatlinRedd13. I'd love to hear what you thought!
