Persimmon Chocolate Chip Cookies
Let’s get started on creating these delicious cookies that are not only tasty but also packed with the goodness of persimmons.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed ripe persimmons (about 2-3 persimmons)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream these ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add in the mashed persimmons, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using. The mixture will be a bit thick.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake!
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
