These paleo gingerbread cookies are perfectly soft and chewy. Made with hidden sweet potato and lots of gingerbread spices, they bake up into sweet yet and healthy cookies.
Preheat the oven to 180 C / 360 F. Line and grease 2 baking trays.
Using a blender/food processor place all the wet ingredients in a bowl and mix till combined.
Alternatively, a kitchen stand mixer with a blade attachment can be used or it can be done by hand with a big spoon/whisk and a strong arm.
Add the dry ingredients and blend on low until a nice dough forms. Scrape down the edges of the bowl at least once to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated.
Take heaped tablespoon amounts of mixture and form into a ball. This recipe will make approximately 20 cookies, depending on how generous your scoops are.
Place the ball on the tray and, using your palm or a spoon, flatten 2/3 the way down. The cookies will only spread a little bit. Repeat and use the other trays. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake the soft gingerbread cookies for 15 minutes.
Allow to cool on the tray and then eat lots! Cooled cookies can be kept in an airtight container but they will soften the longer they are left (so eat more!)
They taste amazing dipped in whipped coconut cream!!
