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 I
These are moist and have a wonderful flavor of spice. You can freeze persimmon pulp to use later if you grow your own and have an excess. These are great fall cookies!

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.

Steps:
- Puree the persimmons in a mini food processor or blender until smooth; set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined, then beat in 3/4 cup of the persimmon puree until combined. (The mixture may look curdled.) Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture, beating until just incorporated. Fold in the raisins with a rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown, about 13 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
- Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and milk in a small bowl. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the glaze over each cookie, then sprinkle with the pistachios. Let set, 10 minutes.
