Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Shortening; plus extra for greasing pans
¾ cup Brown sugar; packed
¾ cup Granulated sugar
1 Egg
1 cup Peeled and chopped persimmons (about 2 large or 3 or 4 small)
2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Ginger
½ teaspoon Cloves
1 cup Chopped walnuts
1 cup Raisins

Directions

I haven't tried these recipes but they come from a reputable source: Marion Cunningham and they're in today's food section of the LA Times.

The persimmon flavor in this cookie is very subtle; the persimmons really provide more texture than taste. Combine shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat until thoroughly blended. Add egg and beat well.

Beat in persimmon pulp. Combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and cloves and stir and toss together. Add to sugar mixture and beat until thoroughly mixed. Stir in walnuts and raisins. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees until cookies are puffed and slightly browned, about 10 to 15 minutes.

60 cookies. Each cookie: 84 calories; 42 mg sodium; 4 mg cholesterol; 5 grams fat; 10 grams carbohydrates; 1 gram protein; 0.16 gram fiber.
