To make sweet potato puree, roast a large sweet potato until it is soft and cooked all the way through. After it has cooled, peel off the skin and then put potato into a food processor to puree.
Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together puree, sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla and egg in a large bowl . In a separate bowl, whisk together together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add the flour mixture to sweet potato mixture and stir until combined, using a large spoon. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Take large tablespoons full of dough and drop onto the cookie sheet, spread about 1 inch apart. Once the cookie dough is down on the sheets, wash your hands clean of the sticky dough. Then attempt to smooth and shape the dough to the shape of a finished cookie because the cookie batter does not spread as much as normal cookie batter, so you want the batter to be very smooth and finished looking.
