Sweet Potatoes

If you remember, in my bountiful basket about 4 weeks ago I got a couple of gigantic sweet potatoes. Yes, almost 4 weeks ago. I finally used the last of them today. I tried sweet potato soup and it was a huge flop. I tried sweet potato fries, and that wasn't so good either.
Finally I scored with this sweet potato bread:

The kids gobbled it all up and really enjoyed it.
Today I made some sweet potato cookies and they turned out so interesting I had to share them. I got the recipe from here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sweet-Potato-Cookies-II/Detail.aspx
But I changed some things so I wanted to post what I did.

Sweet Potato Cookies

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tsp grated lime zest
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup honey
1 egg
1 cup grated raw sweet potato

Cream the sugar, butter, and coconut oil. Add the rest of the wet ingredients. Then the dry ingredients. Bake at 350 for 9-10 min.

So basically I just substituted some oats for some flour, cinnamon instead of nutmeg, and lime instead of lemon. I also used part coconut oil for some of the butter. Other than that I stayed pretty true to the original recipe.

I asked my son how he liked them and he said, "Well, you know Mom, they're kind of yucky."

I however think they are pretty yummy. I think he is caught off guard by the lime flavor. Who would have ever thought to add lemon or lime zest to sweet potato cookies? I never would have thought it, but it makes a fascinating combination and makes them taste quite refreshing.
I would be interested to hear about it if anyone else tries these and likes them! I think cookies are a great way to get a vegetable serving in for the day ;)
