Authentic food from FamilyFun
2 of 4
In the cuisine of the United States, the sweet potato rarely makes an appearance--sweet potato pie, baked sweet potatoes, and that's about it.
African cuisine is much more likely to feature the sweet potato, prized for its flavor and rich color.
This delicious cookie recipe may cause you to rethink the sweet potato. It's tangy and spicy and fun to cook with your kids.
Cookie Dough
10 tablespoons margarine or butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 cup finely grated raw sweet potato
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Lemon Glaze
1 teaspoon butter
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon water
Directions
Cream together the margarine or butter and sugar in a large bowl. Blend in the lemon zest, nutmeg, honey, and egg. Fold in the sweet potato.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add it to the first mixture and stir until well blended.
Arrange the cookie dough by rounded teaspoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees
for 7 minutes. Makes 60.
To make the lemon glaze, use a wooden spoon to combine all ingredients in a glass or ceramic bowl until smooth. Add more water by the drop until glaze is easy to spread on the
cooled cookies
