Sweet Potato Oatmeal Cookies

If anyone has had my cookies you know that this would not pass for a COOKIE (see first post). But it will certainly do for someone who hasn't had added sugar for almost two weeks.

3/4 cup cooked sweet potato
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg (can substitute 1 tbsp. ground flax + 3 tbsp. warm water)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda (baking powder has a corn derivative)
a squeeze of lemon to activate the soda
1/2 cup oil
1 cup instant oatmeal

Combine wet ingredients, then dry. Scoop with cookie scoop, then flatten. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 400 for 8-10 minutes.

April 18, 2012 Update: Since I wrote this we've eliminated oatmeal, even so-called "gluten free" per our naturopath, as well as baking soda. She says we can buy the aluminum-free kind but I haven't even missed it.
