Steps:
- Place rack in the upper third of oven and preheat to 400°F. Clean and scrub sweet potato, pierce all over with a fork, then roast directly on the oven rack for 40 minutes, until fork tender in the thickest part of the potato. Once cool enough to handle, peel away the skin, mash, and measure out 1 cup of puree for baking the cookies. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and brown sugar until thick and smooth. Slowly mix in the oil, applesauce, and vanilla.
- Carefully fold the sweet potato puree into the wet ingredients.
- Add sweet potato mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Fold in by hand, just until no streaks of flour remain. Do not over mix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop cookies by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart (they will look fairly small). Bake for 9-11 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a wire rack to let cool completely.

LOW-FAT, HIGH FIBER OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
I adapted Quaker Oatmeal's "Vanishing Oatmeal Raisen Cookies" recipe to lower the fat and increase the fiber (and my husband didn't even notice!) For less sugar and even lower fat, I sometimes substitute Splenda for the granulated sugar and EnerG egg substitue for the eggs.

Steps:
- Take ¼ of a sweet potato, strip the skin off, and mash it down on a plate. Toss the sweet potato in a bowl, and poor half of 1/3 a cup of water inside the bowl. Mix the water with the sweet potato. Then, add the cinnamon and splenda in, and mix. Then, put 1-cup of oatmeal in, mix, and add another half of 1/3 a cup of water, and mix well. You can add more water if needed, but be very careful not to make the mixture to soft.
- After this, pull out a cookie pan, spray it with Pam, make cookies with the batter using your hand, and place them on the pan. It should come out to about 8 cookies.
- Finally, place the pan in the oven for 20 minutes, at 350 degrees. Take the pan out, set the cookies on a plate, let it cool, and eat!
- Enjoy!
- It tastes pretty good, and is a great switch up from ordinary oatmeal. Also, its very portable, so good to take on trips. The only other thing you would need is some protein.
