When life gives you persimmons, you make cookies! These delightful little treats are not just a feast for the eyes but also a delightful nibble that will have your taste buds dancing jigs. Why? Because who doesn’t love cookies that taste like a festive holiday gathering?
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe persimmons (about 2 persimmons)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
- Optional: 1 cup raisins or chocolate chips for extra sweetness!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s about to get cozy in here!
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and egg until light and fluffy. This is your cookie foundation!
- Stir in the mashed persimmons and vanilla extract. Yes, your kitchen is about to smell heavenly!
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Dry ingredients, meet your wet friends!
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently. Don’t be too rough; we want soft, fluffy cookies, not cookie mush!
- Fold in the nuts, and if you’re feeling like a rebel, throw in some raisins or chocolate chips for that extra kick! Go wild!
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space for them to spread. These cookies like to stretch out and get comfortable!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and your mouth is watering. Seriously, you might want to check on them every minute or so!
- Let them cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or just eat them warm because who are we kidding?
Now, enjoy these scrumptious persimmon cookies with a glass of milk, a cozy blanket, and a holiday movie marathon. Happy baking!
