Dairy-Free Persimmon Pecan Cookies image

This is a simple yet great recipe for persimmons. This recipe can be altered in many ways depending on your taste and dietary needs and restrictions. I personally love these light, delicious, guilt-free cookies. Depending on dietary needs and restrictions, substitutions may be used.
