Time 2h14m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 ½ cups persimmon pulp
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup golden raisins
1 cup confectioners' sugar
¼ cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon melted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt
2 green belt candy strips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon shortening (such as Crisco®)
36 red candy-coated chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat® nonstick baking mat.
  • Mash persimmon pulp in a small bowl and stir in baking soda to let mixture congeal.
  • Beat white sugar and 1/2 cup butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Stir flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt together in a second bowl.
  • Mix egg into the persimmon mixture. Add persimmon mixture and flour mixture to the creamed butter mixture and stir well to combine. Fold pecans and raisins into the batter.
  • Drop batter onto the prepared baking sheet using a medium cookie scoop.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until slightly browned and puffy, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely on wire racks, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, 1 tablespoon melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl until maple glaze is smooth. Place a sheet of parchment paper under the wire rack to catch the drips. Drizzle maple glaze onto the cookie tops using a spoon. Let set until glaze hardens, about 30 minutes.
  • Cut green belt candy into small leaf shapes using kitchen scissors. Combine white chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl and melt in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Drip some melted white chocolate over each cookie using a spoon. Place one red candy-coated chocolate piece in the middle of each cookie and add a green belt leaf to each side. Let set until frosting hardens, about 30 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.

GRAMMY SHARON'S PERSIMMON COOKIES



Grammy Sharon's Persimmon Cookies image

This recipe is one of our family's holiday favorites! I was introduced to persimmons by my Mother-In-Law during my engagement to her son in 1973. This recipe is different from the one she made since her son (my husband since 1974) and our subsequent 2 daughters, preferred an increase in the spices, raisins, and sometimes...

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 c hachiya persimmon pulp, pureed
1 c butter, softened
2 c white sugar
2 large eggs
4 c flour, all purpose
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 tsp cloves, ground
1 tsp nutmeg, ground
1 tsp salt, iodized
3 c raisins (optional)
3 c walnuts, broken (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Wash persimmons. Remove stems. Scoop pulp into a small bowl. Discard peels. Puree pulp and set aside.
  • 2. In a medium bowl cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add persimmon pulp and mix well.
  • 3. In a large bowl combine the flour, soda, spices, and salt. Add the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix thoroughly.
  • 4. Add raisins and walnuts. Mix well.
  • 5. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper which eliminates the need to grease. It is not necessary to reline for each dozen. The one sheet is all that is needed for the entire batch.
  • 6. Drop heaping teaspoons of dough for each cookie, flattening them with the back of the spoon.
  • 7. Bake 10 - 15 minutes until tops and bottoms of cookies are a golden brown.
  • 8. Thoroughly cool on cookie racks before storing in sealed containers or baggies. This will eliminate condensation from forming and making cookies soggy.

AUNT FANNY'S COOKIES



Aunt Fanny's Cookies image

From Jo Ann Shirley's 1978 Cakes and Cookies cookbook. These are a pinwheel type cookie that has a sugar-cinnamon-walnut mixture rolled with a sugar dough. The dough does need to be chilled before rolling, but that chilling time has not been factored into the prep time. And I don't know how long they should be baked so let us all know if you try it!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe persimmons: Look for persimmons that are soft and slightly squishy, with no blemishes or bruises. Ripe persimmons will have a deep orange color and a slightly sweet aroma.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the persimmons: This will help to create a smooth and consistent batter. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also mash the persimmons with a fork or potato masher.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cookies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help to create a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.

Conclusion:

These persimmon cookies are a delicious and unique treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Persimmons are a healthy fruit that is packed with nutrients, so these cookies are a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. So next time you're looking for a new cookie recipe to try, give these persimmon cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
