These look lush! Thinking of trying them out for M. When you defrost them do you just take them out in the morning for lunchtime or do you need to defrost overnight?

If I put them in a lunchbox at 7.30am they are defrosted by lunchtime. Hope she enjoys them!

Mandy I just made these and they're awesome! I'm so impressed. I should have pressed the mixture down flatter as they don't change shape at all as they cook and when I first took them out I thought they were going to be a disaster, but they taste really good! I cheated a bit and added about two tsp of brown sugar, and when I went to add the raisins realised I don't have any but found a baking mix of raisins, cherries & chocolate chips so used that instead and its really nice. So mine aren't quite as healthy as your recipe but still a million times better than most cookies.

They sound lovely! I have another sweet potato cookies version coming soon which is a bit more complicated and also has chocolate chips. R has decided that he doesn't like chocolate though, so I needed a version for him! Thanks for commenting x
