Not quite a biscuit, Not quite a cookie,
Just tender and good!
These are fun and unusual. They really are a cross between a biscuit and a soft cookie. They have a mild, sweet flavor that is different and very delicious. My husband really likes them!
1 egg
1/3 cup butter or shortening ( I like the flavor of butter)
1 cup cooked,cooled and mashed yams
2 Tbs. sugar
1 cup flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Mix egg, butter, and yams in a bowl until fluffy. Gradually stir in sugar. Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt and then add into yam mixture. ( I use a hand mixer) Blend well and drop by tablespoons or cookie scoop onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 until done, 10-20 minutes. They will be lightly browned on the bottom. Check after 10 minutes for doneness.
Optional Topping: My son likes the topping on but I like them just as well plain.
2 Tbs. butter
1 Tbs. brown sugar
Microwave in a bowl for a few seconds and then drizzle over the hot biscuits. It will be sticky for a few minutes but dries when cool.
