Here is my "revered Persimmon Cookie" recipe passed down through the ages. It is nothing difficult or nothing fancy. Just plain old goodness. Persimmons are plentiful this time of the year, so go for it.
1 Cup shortening (or 3/4 cup oil). I prefer oil
1 cup sugar
1 fresh egg
Mix the three of these together.
Add 1 cup of persimmon pulp (almost mushy). Then add 2 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. Stir together with egg mixture. Add 1 cup raisins. Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
These give your house a wonderful holiday aroma, and you will have delicious cookies to boot.
Men seem to really like these cookies from my experience.
You may want to double this recipe for filling up your pantry or freezer.
Have fun and don't eat too many!
