Whatcha' Cookin' Wednesday - "Sweet Potato "Cookies""

Our twins have only had dessert four times in their life - a slice of cake or cupcake on their birthday or ours. Refined sugar has the ability to turn perfectly good children into crazy monkeys so our kiddos just don't eat it. (I'm not judging you if *you* do, it just doesn't work for us.)

Instead of sweets, we eat fruit or a Super Bar. About a year ago I roasted some sweet potatoes in the shape of coins and the kids started calling them Sweet Potato Cookies. Works for me. They're sweet and salty and delicious. A great snack for adults too.
