Fall cookies, freshly baked with local persimmons, make perfect holiday gifts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening
- 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup persimmon pulp
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1⁄2 cup raisins
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. If the batter seems too wet, add a little additional amount of flour.
- Drop the batter by the spoonful on a greased cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 to 15 minutes.
- To make the cookies more uniform in shape, press down on the top slightly with a butter knife or fork to flatten them before baking.
