It would really help to have measurements for the sweet potato and alternative types of carrots. I am thinking my sweet potato was too big and I used shredded carrots instead of the baby carrots – the sweet potato came to 1 full cup and I used a cup of shredded carrots, too. It must have been way too much because the batter was very soupy and the cookies seemed to not bake completely. [To compound the problem, when I put the first batch in the oven, I checked the recipe for the time and saw "10 minutes" and of course they were underdone and I had to keep putting them back – my fault.] I added more almond butter to the second batch in hopes of thickening the batter – no better results. I had more left in the bowl and added a half cup of old fashioned oats and some slivered almonds and raisins to boost texture and flavor, but this time I put what I had left over into my new silicone muffin pan – these were the best.
