PERSIMMON RAISIN COOKIES
This is a spicy cookie that's Mmmm, Mmmm Good! It's hard to get fresh persimmons these days, but if you have them, this is a great recipe. It's an original handed down to me by old/ancient relatives, and over 170 years old. These cookies also freeze well. Have fun!

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!

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:
- 1. Bring the butter and egg to room temp. Beat the soft butter and sugar in deep mixing bowl 'til light. Add egg, beating very well. Add the vanilla and spices. Mix well. The batter will be very runny at this point.
- 2. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, one cup at a time. Mix well. Fold in the raisins, nuts and the candied fruit (if using these additions). Be sure to mix it very well.
- 3. The dough will not be thick enough to roll out (like sugar cookies dough). Drop cookie dough by the teaspoon onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees 10-12 minutes.
- 4. Watch the cookies very carefully! They tend to burn on the bottom due to the high sugar content. They can be iced with a thin glaze after cooling, but really don't need anything else! That would be akin to guilding the lily!
