- 2. In a medium bowl cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add persimmon pulp and mix well.
- 3. In a large bowl combine the flour, soda, spices, and salt. Add the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix thoroughly.
- 4. Add raisins and walnuts. Mix well.

- 6. Drop heaping teaspoons of dough for each cookie, flattening them with the back of the spoon.
- 7. Bake 10 - 15 minutes until tops and bottoms of cookies are a golden brown.
- 8. Thoroughly cool on cookie racks before storing in sealed containers or baggies. This will eliminate condensation from forming and making cookies soggy.
