I made this recipe when trying to find another sugar cookie recipe for my witches fingers (recipe on this site, too). The only other time I have made homemade cookies, they turned out horrible, so I wasn't expecting too much from this recipe either. But, to my surprise they turned out really good. Even my kids, who only eat choc. chip cookies, really liked them. As per other reviews, I did add an extra 1/4 C of sugar. And actually, I could have added a little more for my liking. I placed dough in freezer for about 30 minutes and then rolled out some of my dough for the witches fingers. The rest of the dough I just spooned out for regular round cookies. A really good recipe.

My aunt has made this for years. We call it sweet potato casserole. I have made it several times now. It is wonderful! You could eat it as a dessert. We always use 3- 15oz canned yams (brand name yams). We also use 1 stick of butter (use real butter), 1/2 cup of white sugar and cinnamon to taste. The topping is thick, so you'll have to spread it(not sprinkle). It is definitely a recipe your family will beg you to bring every holiday dinner and then fight over who will get the last serving.
