Have you ever heard of tater cookies? Sweet tater cookies, that is. If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat, literally. I assembled a recipe that’s not only nut and egg free, but also incredibly easy to make. If you’re not a fan of sweet potatoes, don’t worry about it, because this recipe is versatile enough that you can swap out the sweet potato for any other fruit or vegetable puree you’d like. And hey, you’ll feel a lot better about yourself because this cookie isn’t overly sweet or jam packed with chocolate.
