PERSIMMON CAKE (OR COOKIES)
This is my mother's recipe. It was one of my favorites that she would make. It reminds me of the holidays, so with them coming, I thought I would share it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I always did! Note: I'm pretty sure she used this same batter recipe for cookies, as it's the only persimmon recipe I found in her...

Steps:
- 1. Mix persimmon with baking soda and set aside. Cream shortening, sugars and eggs together. Add milk to persimmon mixture and mix well. Mix flour and baking powder together in a seperate bowl. Add to persimmon mixture and mix well. Add creamed mixture and mix well. Mix in nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. Note: If doing cookies, drop by spoonfuls onto nonstick baking sheet and cook until done (probably 10-12 minutes).
