Spiced Persimmon Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 ripe persimmons, pureed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking surfaces by coating them with a thin layer of grease. This will ensure that your cookies release easily once they're baked.
3
In a small, shallow dish, combine the persimmon pulp and baking soda. Use a spoon to mix these ingredients until the baking soda is fully incorporated and set aside for the time being.
4
In a separate, large bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients - flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Set this mixture aside for the moment.
5
Using an electric mixer in a separate large bowl, cream together your sugar and butter until they reach a smooth consistency.
6
Now, take the egg and persimmon mixture you've prepared earlier, and beat it into your sugar and butter mixture until well combined.
7
Next, gradually add the flour mixture you've prepared earlier to your wet ingredients. Mix until just combined - be careful not to overmix.
8
Fold in the raisins and walnuts, taking care not to crush or damage them during this process.
9
Spoonfuls of dough should now be dropped 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. This will give your cookies plenty of room to spread out during baking.
10
Place the prepared baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, approximately 15 minutes.
11
Once the cookies have finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a brief moment before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
