Grandma Elsie's World-Famous Persimmon Cookies

cuesa.org
makes about 3 dozen cookies
Be sure to start with completely ripe Hachiya persimmons. You’ll know they’re ready to use when they are almost too soft to pick up without breaking open. The skin should be translucent and the pulp should have the consistency of jam. If it looks like they won’t be ready by the time you want to use them, you can force them to Hachiyas to ripen by freezing them.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Hachiya persimmon pulp (about 2 to 3 persimmons, skins removed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter, at room temperature
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon cloves
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins
