GRANDMA'S PERSIMMON COOKIES
This is another family recipe handed down through the generations. This recipe calls for dates instead of raisins which is nice for those who don't care for raisins. This is a nice spice cookie perfect for fall baking.

PERSIMMON COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING
This is a family favorite. The recipe comes from"Old Fashion Presimmon Recipes" by Bear Wallow Books from Nashville, IN. I have been making these cookies for years and my grown children complain that now they only get them at Christmas. The prep time does not include getting the pulp ready. I am only guessing at prep time.

Tips:
- Use ripe persimmons: Look for persimmons that are soft and slightly wrinkled, with no blemishes. Avoid persimmons that are hard or have green patches.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly puffy and the edges should be just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Storing them before they are completely cool can make them soft and crumbly.

These persimmon cookies are a delicious and unique treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and toppings.
