HEALTHY PERSIMMON COOKIES RECIPE



Healthy Persimmon Cookies Recipe image

This is a modified recipe of my favorite desert: persimmon cookies. I lowered its fat and sugar content and I increased its fiber, making these cookies an ideal breakfast or snack meal for people who want to enjoy great cookies and still want to live by the rules of a healthy diet. Possible substitutions: Instead of persimmon pulp you can use Organic reduced-sugar Apricot preserve. Instead of sour cream use buttermilk. You can try eliminating the whole grain flour altogether. Once you'll try them you'll get hooked!

PERSIMMON COOKIES



Persimmon Cookies image

After making 3 different types of persimmon cookies today, these were clearly the favorites. Katherine Hakins Armstrong won the Indianapolis Star's 2005 Holiday Cookie Contest with this recipe. I used a mixture of chopped dates, dried apricots, and raisins, as I did not have enough raisins to make 1 cup. You may want to reduce the oven temperature as I found my cookies darkened too quickly at 375. I would also suggest using a lightly greased cookie sheet. Recipe listed is the original recipe.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h10m

Yield 5-6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup persimmon pulp
1 egg
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon clove
1 cup raisins
1 cup walnuts or 1 cup pecans
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening. Add the persimmon pulp and egg. Set aside.
  • Sift together the flour, soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • Combine dry ingredients with persimmon mixture and blend well.
  • Add raisins and nuts.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls on cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet and dip in powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe persimmons: The riper the persimmons, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the persimmons: This will make it easier to mix them into the cookie dough.
  • Chill the cookie dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

These healthy persimmon cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are made with wholesome ingredients and are a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The cookies are also naturally gluten-free and vegan, making them a great option for people with dietary restrictions. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these persimmon cookies a try!
