SWEET POTATO PIE COOKIES

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prick the sweet potato in several places and place it on a baking sheet. Bake until very tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool. Scrape the flesh into a bowl and mash until smooth. Measure out 1 cup purée; reserve the remaining purée for another use.
• Place the 1 cup sweet potato purée in a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, cream, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, for the crust: Spray a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with cooking spray. Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low just until combined to form a smooth dough.
• Roll the dough into 24 (1-tablespoon size) balls. Press a ball into each muffin cup, covering the sides and bottoms to make cookie crusts. Refrigerate to firm up the crusts, about 30 minutes.
• While the crusts chill, make the crumble topping: Toss the flour, pecans, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg together in a bowl. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss well with a fork until the mixture clumps together with some crumbs and some larger clumps. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F until golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Pour the filling into the chilled cookie crusts and bake at 350 degrees F until the crusts are golden and the filling is set, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let the cookies sit in the pan until cool enough to handle, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and place on a wire rack. Press the cooled crumble topping onto the cookies and let cool before serving.
