PERSIMMON COOKIES WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING



Persimmon Cookies With Cream Cheese Icing image

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.

Conclusion:

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. Persimmons are a healthy fruit that is packed with vitamins and minerals, making these cookies a nutritious snack or dessert.
