Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
¾ cups granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1 large egg
1 cup persimmon pulp (puréed (3-4 very ripe and soft Fuyu persimmons))
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ginger
⅛ teaspoon allspice
⅓ cup old fashioned oats
½ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup white chocolate chips
¼ cup pecans (roughly chopped)

Steps:

  • Set the oven rack to the middle position. Heat to 325°F (163ºC).
  • Using the paddle attachment on your mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and mix on medium speed until combined.
  • Add 1 cup of persimmon pulp purée and mix until combined.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together; flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Whisk the dry ingredients together, and then slowly add into the mixer on low speed. Mix until just combined.
  • Add the oats, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips, and pecans. Mix on low speed until combined, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Portion the dough (about 1 ¼ tablespoon) onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Make sure that the cookies are at least 2 inches apart. Use your fingers or a spoon to flatten the dough into ¼-inch thick cookies, the dough will be slightly sticky. Top with extra cranberries, white chocolate, or pecans if desired.
  • Bake the cookies one tray at a time. Bake until the edges set, the surface feels firm and golden brown, arproximately 14 to 16 minutes.
  • Cool on the sheet pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack. Bake the remaining cookies, making sure the oven increases back up to the proper temperature.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 very ripe Fuyu persimmons, peeled, seeded and diced
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup golden raisins
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Puree the persimmons in a mini food processor or blender until smooth; set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined, then beat in 3/4 cup of the persimmon puree until combined. (The mixture may look curdled.) Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Fold in the raisins with a rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown, about 13 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the glaze over each cookie, then sprinkle with the pistachios. Let set, 10 minutes.

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.

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 help to ensure that the persimmons are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will help them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Persimmon cookies are a delicious and unique twist on a classic cookie recipe. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a sweet treat to enjoy with your family or friends or a festive cookie to serve at your next holiday party, persimmon cookies are sure to be a hit.
