ingredients


Cookies

1 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 cup peeled and chopped persimmon
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins

Spice Glaze

1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease some cookie sheets.

Combine the shortening and sugars and beat until thoroughly blended. Add the egg and beat well, then beat in the persimmon pulp.

Stir and toss together the flour, salt, soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Add to the first mixture, and beat until completely mixed. Stir in walnuts and raisins. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed and browned slightly. While hot, brush each with the Spice Glaze, then transfer to racks to cool.

Oatmeal Persimmon Cookies: Add 2 cups uncooked oatmeal (not instant) to the dough when you add the nuts and raisins.

For Spice glaze: Mix well to dissolve any lumps. Brush or spoon over warm cookies.
