MAW-MAW'S PERSIMMON COOKIES
My neighbor shared her persimmons from her yard, along with her family recipe for these wonderful cookies. They are heavy and soft; perfect for dunking in a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee!

Steps:
- 1. Bring the butter and egg to room temp. Beat the soft butter and sugar in deep mixing bowl 'til light. Add egg, beating very well. Add the vanilla and spices. Mix well. The batter will be very runny at this point.
- 2. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, one cup at a time. Mix well. Fold in the raisins, nuts and the candied fruit (if using these additions). Be sure to mix it very well.
- 3. The dough will not be thick enough to roll out (like sugar cookies dough). Drop cookie dough by the teaspoon onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees 10-12 minutes.
- 4. Watch the cookies very carefully! They tend to burn on the bottom due to the high sugar content. They can be iced with a thin glaze after cooling, but really don't need anything else! That would be akin to guilding the lily!
