Persimmon Cookies

Persimmon cookies

This is my first blog post on this new platform. My hopes are that eventually I will move all of my high performing posts from blogspot that I've had since 2009. I'm publishing this recipe to see how it appears on the site. I hope you bookmark it for next season!

Enjoy this seasonal favorite. This is my go-to recipe using Hachiya persimmons.

I buy extras when they're in season and freeze them! I like to enjoy this treat when it's no longer Hachiya persimmon season!

Ingredients:

4-5 Hachiya persimmons pureed

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter (room temp)

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp salt (can omit if butter is salted)

Optional: nuts of your choice (add in the batter) or on top when baking with a pinch of cinnamon and sugar

The best way to prepare persimmons is freezing them then letting them thaw. You can also let them ripen on the counter. This may take a few days so if you're in a hurry, freeze them! Use a pairing knife and peel the skin, throw the persimmons in the blender and puree. Bring the puree to room temperature, if cold, before using them in this recipe. 

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. After prepping the persimmons, mix the sugar, egg, softened butter, and vanilla. 

3. Add in the pureed persimmons. The cookies will be much better if you use at least 4 persimmons. One time I only had 3 and they weren't the same.

4. In a separate bowl, prepare the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and stir until combined.

5. Add the dry mixture a half cup in at a time. 

6. Fold in the optional ingredients.

7. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and drop the batter using an ice cream scoop about an inch apart. The cookie batter should not spread.

8. Bake for 12-14 minutes.

9. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
