Description

A recipe handed down from my Great Aunt Maude. It’s a fall favorite at our house and my dad’s favorite cookie!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Persimmon Pulp
  • ½ cups Vegetable Shortening
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 2 cubes All-purpose Flour
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 cup Pecans Or Walnuts, Chopped
  • 1 cup Raisins (or Currants)

Preparation

I use Fuyu Persimmons. Make sure your persimmons are very ripe and soft, cut in half, then scoop out the pulp with a spoon, breaking it up a bit in the bowl if needed. It took me 3 average sized persimmons to get just over 1 Cup of pulp.

Mix persimmon pulp, shortening, sugar and baking soda in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Add remaining ingredients and mix until totally combined.

Drop by teaspoons (I use a small cookie scooper) onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 325F for 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Makes about 36 cookies.

You can also bake the cookies in a greased mini muffin tin for 15 minutes, allow to cool a bit in the pan, then cool completely on a wire rack.
