Ingredients

- 1 medium sweet potato
- 4 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
Steps
- Peel, chop, boil until tender and then mash and cool the sweet potato.

- On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick (you can roll thinner for a crispier treat). Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes and place them on the baking tins.
- Alternatively, you can roll the dough out and press lines to make square cookies.
- Bake for 40 minutes, turning the cookies over half way through cooking for even baking.
