Brown Angel Iced Sweet Potato Cookies Recipes

SWEET POTATO TOAST WITH RICOTTA, BERRIES, HONEY AND ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Slice off the 4 long sides of each of the sweet potatoes so the potatoes are squared off and sit flat on a cutting board. Slice the potatoes lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks, about 5-inches-by-2-inches (you should get 3 planks per sweet potato). Combine the sweet potatoes and melted butter in a medium bowl and toss gently to coat. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. Remove the sweet potato toasts to 2 plates.
• Top the toasts with the ricotta, berries and almonds and drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY ANGEL COOKIES

Steps:

• HEAT oven to 325 degrees F. Coat baking sheet with no-stick cooking spray.
• BEAT together cake mix and preserves (do not add water) at low speed of electric mixer 1 minute or until evenly moistened. Continue to beat an additional 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet.
• BAKE 10 to 12 minutes or until tops are just lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on baking sheet. Place on cooling rack to cool completely. Cookies will be soft and chewy.
• TIP: Store between sheets of wax paper to keep from sticking together.

BROWN ANGEL ICED SWEET POTATO COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the cookies: In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and set aside. Whisk together, with an electric mixer, the butter and sugar. Add the egg, molasses, butter extract, sweet potato and orange zest. Carefully fold dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture with a rubber spatula. Stir in the pecans, if using. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Decorate with cream cheese icing.
• For the cream cheese icing: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, blend cream cheese, sugar, and butter on low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed to high, and mix until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the maple or vanilla extract, and mix on high speed until incorporated. Pipe the cream cheese frosting on cookies in any desired pattern with a piping bag or a plastic baggie with a hole cut at the corner. You can also warm the frosting in a microwave for a few seconds until smooth and drizzle the frosting onto the cookies.
