Cooking instruction summary:

Pre-Heat your oven to 375{F}Wash your sweet potato and chop it up and put it in a pot with water to boil on the stove to make the mashed sweet potatoes. You do have a choice here -- peeling or not peeling the sweet potato. I've tried both ways. Not peeling it gives it a lot more texture with I like, but play around with it and find which one you prefer!While that's boiling combine the rest of the ingredients, except for the butter in a bowl. Mix it up well.When your sweet potatoes are fork tender, drain them and add in your butter, ghee or coconut oil in and mash well. Taste test them and if you feel you want more of a creamy/butter taste add a little bit more in :) It says in the Ingredients that you're looking for 1¼ cups {ish} of sweet potato. But if you're a little over or a little under don't worry about it! And if you make too much, you've got half your lunch done for tomorrow!Combine your sweet potato with the rest of the ingredients. I love this part because it melts some of the chocolate so it's less "chocolate chip" and more "chocolate"!On a large baking sheet {I lined mine with aluminum foil}, scoop your cookie dough out using a teaspoon measure -- I did these as heaping teaspoons.And for once I made it easy! Just leave them as they are once you drop them onto the cookie sheet! And these don't really spread out so you can keep them close{ish} together!Bake 10-12 minutes or until they're firm and slightly browned on the bottom.Try to let them cool before eating or be me and eat one right away while burning your tongue!

Food Trivia

The earliest form of eating processed food occurred in early hunting cultures when the men who made a kill would be rewarded with a meal of the partially digested contents of the stomach of their prey.

Food Joke

A little change On his way back from work one evening, Benny gets hit by a car as he crosses Threadneedle Street and is knocked unconscious. To the bystanders, he looks in a bad way. A Priest happens to be passing and not knowing Benny’s religion, administers last rites. But immediately, Benny`s eyes open and he’s quickly fully awake. "What were you saying to me?" asks Benny. The Priest tells him about the last rites. "I suppose a little bit of a different religion won’t hurt," says Benny, "thanks." Benny can’t wait to tell his family about his experience. When he gets home, he says to his wife, "Yetta, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she tells him, "Later, Benny, later. I don`t have time. I’m late for my supervision meeting. I’ve left your dinner in the oven. See you later." So Benny goes up to his daughter’s room and says, "Leah, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she says, "Sorry, Dad, I’m on the phone planning my weekend. Could you please come back later, and close the door behind you, will you." He then goes to look for his son who he finds driving the car out the garage. "Maurice, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But his son says, "Dad, I’m late for a date. I need the car and some money. Can you lend me £100 please? I’ll talk to you tomorrow." So Benny goes back into his house, shakes his head and says, "I’ve only been a gentile for two hours and already I hate three Jews."
