Cookies were counted as we were eating them... numbers were bitten, one by one, in such a delicious amount the we lost track of it...
Sweet potato cookies
Makes 60-70 (12g each):
500 g sugar
500 g sweet potato, pureed
125 g grinded almonds
4 egg yolks
24 g butter
Cinnamon
Pre-heat the oven to 180º C.
Bring the sugar to boil with some water until it reaches 117ºC.
Add the sweet potato and almonds and stir.
Let it cool down a little and add butter, cinnamon and the whisked egg yolks.
Bring the mixture to medium heat stirring constantly until thick (when you pass a spoon through the mixture you should be able to see the bottom of the pan).
Let it cool down.
With your greased hands make small balls and place them on a baking sheet.
Sprinkle with icing sugar and bake for 20-30 minutes.
