Healthy Persimmon Cookies Recipe image

This is a modified recipe of my favorite desert: persimmon cookies. I lowered its fat and sugar content and I increased its fiber, making these cookies an ideal breakfast or snack meal for people who want to enjoy great cookies and still want to live by the rules of a healthy diet. Possible substitutions: Instead of persimmon pulp you can use Organic reduced-sugar Apricot preserve. Instead of sour cream use buttermilk. You can try eliminating the whole grain flour altogether. Once you'll try them you'll get hooked!

These persimmon cookies were surprisingly delicious! The persimmons added a unique sweetness and moisture to the cookies. The texture was perfect - crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again!
