HEALTHY PERSIMMON COOKIES RECIPE
This is a modified recipe of my favorite desert: persimmon cookies. I lowered its fat and sugar content and I increased its fiber, making these cookies an ideal breakfast or snack meal for people who want to enjoy great cookies and still want to live by the rules of a healthy diet. Possible substitutions: Instead of persimmon pulp you can use Organic reduced-sugar Apricot preserve. Instead of sour cream use buttermilk. You can try eliminating the whole grain flour altogether. Once you'll try them you'll get hooked!

PERSIMMON COOKIES
After making 3 different types of persimmon cookies today, these were clearly the favorites. Katherine Hakins Armstrong won the Indianapolis Star's 2005 Holiday Cookie Contest with this recipe. I used a mixture of chopped dates, dried apricots, and raisins, as I did not have enough raisins to make 1 cup. You may want to reduce the oven temperature as I found my cookies darkened too quickly at 375. I would also suggest using a lightly greased cookie sheet. Recipe listed is the original recipe.

GRANDMA'S PERSIMMON COOKIES
This is another family recipe handed down through the generations. This recipe calls for dates instead of raisins which is nice for those who don't care for raisins. This is a nice spice cookie perfect for fall baking.
