I had purchased a purple yam and cooked it, not understanding what I used to be going to make with it. It was fairly scrumptious, and it was tempting simply to eat it, nevertheless it was so stunning I believed it wanted for use in one thing. I’ve seen individuals use them in recipes earlier than to tint issues a beautiful purple hue, so I believed why not?!

That’s what I’m calling them, as a result of Cookie Monster loves chocolate chip cookies and he’s blue similar to these cookies! Appears very applicable to me! I used to like Sesame Road after I was a child!
The thought to make use of the purple yam in these cookies got here from the truth that I make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and I believed I may simply substitute the candy potato and make them purple. Purple is my second favourite coloration in any case! So I simply swapped the pumpkin for purple candy potato. A notice on that although, I wanted so as to add just a little water to the candy potato to make it the consistency of the pumpkin so you will want to do that if you happen to make the recipe. It wanted about 3 Tbsp. In case you are mixing the dough and it appears too dry, then you definitely didn’t add sufficient water. Simply add a contact extra if that occurs.
Once I pulled these guys from the oven I anticipated to see purple however what I received as a substitute was a beautiful blue! I regarded up why this might need occurred and it has to do with the candy potatoes reacting with the baking soda. Much like how when I’ve used beets in recipes up to now anticipating a beautiful pink or pink and I received brown. However at the least these turned a reasonably coloration! I believed it was fairly cool!
They smelled wonderful whereas baking, the aroma of chocolate chip cookies filling my dwelling. My husband was excited to attempt some since he was having fun with their aroma when he arrived dwelling from work! They simply style like traditional chocolate chip cookies, however after all they’re just a little extra particular due to the colour! They’re the proper consistency, chewy (how I like them) and ideal served heat with the chocolate chips nonetheless gooey!
