Spiced Paleo Sweet Potato CookiesFamily tradition.
Monday nights are my family’s weekly “pizza & a movie” night. We all cram onto the living room couch and chow down on homemade pizzas and carrot sticks while watching “Laura” (a.k.a Little House on the Prairie), or something equally family-friendly.
Inevitably, halfway through whatever we’re watching, my kids begin begging me to make them cookies to top off their ever growing appetites. And, since it’s almost bedtime, I usually try to fix a cookie that isn’t going to send them bouncing off the walls. Not that they need any help in that area…
I also aim for super easy, because ‘almost bedtime’ can usually be exchanged for ‘mommy’s brain is about to turn off.’ You moms and dads know exactly what I’m talking about!
Spiced Paleo Sweet Potato CookiesThe sweetest of potatoes.
I don’t know about your house, but over here, with 7 different people and palates, it’s almost a given that not everyone’s going to like everything. Except pizza and chocolate chip cookies. Everyone likes those. They all love regular potatoes, too. But sweet potatoes? Not so much.
You’d think that with the word ‘sweet’ in their name everyone would love them! And why wouldn’t they? They are, after all sweet, but they’re also loaded with nutrients! They’re packed with potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin B6, and also contain antioxidants. Plus sweet potatoes are low on the glycemic index, meaning they can help blance blood sugar and reduce the risk of insulin resistance.
Spiced Paleo Sweet Potato CookiesThe power of cookies.
When it comes to these little cookies though, each and every one of my non-sweet-potato-loving kids (and hubby) gobbled them up! And they even knew before hand that there were sweet potatoes in them. I guess it just goes to show you the power of putting stuff in cookies… 😉
If you’re looking for more easy, healthy cookies, here are a few of my family’s favorites. They’re all…
