I had this dish years ago at an ex-boyfriend's house while I was there for Thanksgiving dinner and his mom shared her recipe. I am usually pretty traditional and old-fashioned with my Thanksgiving menu, but always make these because they are so good! My relationship didn't last, but this recipe continues to be a favorite, years later!
Ingredients:
24 amaretto cookies, crushed
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 (29 ounce) cans sweet potatoes
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 teaspoon amaretto liqueur, or more to taste
2 teaspoons ground ginger
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Mix crushed cookies with 1/2 cup butter in a bowl. Mash sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup butter in separate bowl; add brown sugar, marmalade, amaretto liqueur, and ginger to sweet potatoes. Mix well. Pour sweet potato mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish; top with cookie mixture.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
