Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix mashed sweet potatoes and melted butter.
Step 3
Add flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until a soft dough forms.**
Step 4
Add the raisins and mix until incorporated.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead it a few times until the dough is solid enough to roll out.
Step 6
Roll the dough 1/2 inch thick and cut the cookies with a cookie cutter (heart shaped is traditional). Place the cut cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Re-roll and cut any remaining dough, until all the dough has been used.
Step 7
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until firm and slightly springy when touched.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from oven and let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet to finish cooling on a wire rack.
