Servings: persons

1/2 cup unsalted butter Softened
1 large egg
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or Vanilla Bean Paste
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
2 cups pastry flour cups, or 1 of each
pastry flour I used 100%, and ended up with a cookie with a very delicate, cakey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or Cinnamon
1 cup sweet potatoes Mashed
2 sweet potatoes large, at 400 F for one hour, until soft. Let them cool a bit and the skin pee
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips High Quality
powdered sugar Optional:, for dusting

1
Combine Butter, Egg, Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar, Vanilla, in medium bowl. I mixed the ingredients with a spatula, you can also mix with electric mixer until well blended.
2
In a separate bowl mix together dry ingredients: Flour, Salt, Baking Soda, Pumpkin Pie Spice.
3
Stir 1/2 the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stir in remaining flour mix until well combined.
4
Stir in Sweet Potatoes and Chocolate Chips.
5
Preheat oven to 350 F, lightly grease baking sheets.
6
Heap large tablespoons of batter onto cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart.
7
Bake for about 15 minutes, until cooked thorough and tops of cookies are golden. (At 10,000 feet in Telluride these cookies took quite a bit longer to cook through, about 19-20 minutes. Use your judgement and taste preference to determine baking time.)
8
Let cool about 5 minutes and place on cooling racks.
9
Dust with powdered sugar.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
