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 Joke

One day while walking down the street a highly successful executive woman was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. "Welcome to Heaven," said St.Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had an executive make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in." said the woman. "Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in." "Actually, I think I've made up my mind...I prefer to stay in Heaven", said the woman. "Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell. The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved good- bye as she got on the elevator. The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St. Peter waiting for her. "Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her. "So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity," he said. The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell." So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and Filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her. "I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable." The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you; today you're staff."
