These are so delicious, just like ones I used to get at the Chinese restaurants in NY. I didn’t have lard so I used softened salted butter in its place. I omitted salt since I used salted butter. I added an extra tsp of almond extract as others suggested (2 tsp total). I also lightly egg washed the cookies, placed sliced almonds on top and sprinkled with a tiny bit of sugar in the raw. I did not use food coloring.
Very good! I added 1c brown sugar and 1/2c white sugar. I combined the sugars, spices, vanilla and butter in saucepan. I boiled the sliced sweet potatoes until they were almost cooked through, drained them, then layered them with the glaze in a 9x13 pan and baked them covered for 30 mins at 350.
