It appears I have been sneaking potato into quite a few
baked goods lately. I am trying to get through a ten pound bag of potatoes on
my own, without eating potatoes at every meal. Potatoes are pretty versatile,
and I like to try new, and potentially strange things with them. My chocolate
potato fudge is always a hit, so why not chocolate potato cookies? The flavor
and texture in these does not give away their secret ingredient, however, they
were not quite chocolaty enough for me, as I did not add in chocolate chips. I
would definitely recommend doing this next time!
Chocolate Potato Cookies
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup mashed potatoes (unseasoned, no butter), at room temperature
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips or miniature chocolate chips,
optional
Preheat oven to 400◦F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg
and vanilla. Mix in the chocolate chips and potato. Stir in the flour, soda,
and salt, then the chocolate chips if using. Spoon teaspoons of dough onto
prepared cookie sheets. Bake ten minutes until just set.

I would not have guessed that there were potatoes in the cookies! They were moist and tasty, thanks again.
