    Incredible!
    I LOVE LOVE LOVE these cookies. My daughter's girl scout troop made these for World Thinking Day last year & they were a huge hit! I had forgotten how much I liked them until I made them again today. I would never guess they had sweet potatoes in them. They have a great light lemony flavor instead! - 1/20/10
