Sweet Potato Holiday Cookies
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and salt into a bowl.
  3. Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Mix in honey, egg, and lemon zest until well blended. Fold in sweet potato. Stir in flour mixture with a large spoon until dough is just blended.
  4. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
