This is really the best persimmon cookie recipe I’ve tasted so far.  Trust me, I’ve tried a lot because my parents have a persimmon tree.  My mom ended up finding this recipe at a fruit stand she stumbled upon on the way to San Diego.

INGREDIENTS:

1 tsp. baking soda

1 cup persimmon puree

2 ¼ cups flour

½ tsp. cinnamon

½ tsp. nutmeg

½ tsp. salt

¼ lb. butter or margarine

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup chopped nuts

1 cup raisins or semisweet chocolate pieces

Stir baking soda into persimmon puree and let stand for 5 minutes.  In a bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.  In a large bowl or an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar.  Beat in egg, then stir in persimmon mixture.  Stir in flour mixture to form a soft dough, then stir in nuts and raisins.

Drop batter by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until edges are lightly browned and centers spring back when lightly touched (12-15 minutes).  Transfer to racks and let cool. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

I think this is a 1940’s or 1950’s recipe from the Los Angeles Unified School District. I know I grew-up eat these at home and I like these year- round.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs, well beaten
  • 2 cups flour, sifted
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups cornflakes
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In mixing bowl, cream butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  4. Sift flour with baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  5. Add flour mixture into butter mixture.
  6. Add in vanilla, oats, cornflakes, coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts and stir until blended.
  7. On an ungreased cookie sheet, drop tablespoon-sized balls on to cookie sheet.
