Sweet Potato Cookies image

Soft, and moist kinda like a cake mix cookie. This is a great way to use leftover sweet potatoes. I got this recipe from Holidays Of The World Cookbook For Students. This recipe is from Trinidad & Tobago. They My family is not big sweet potato fans thought they were good. When I made this recipe I used Splenda brown sugar for the brown sugar. I also thought 4 tsp. baking powder was way to much so I only used 1 tsp. I also left out the coconut as my family is not fans of coconut.
