Persimmon Cookies | Old-Fashioned Hachiya Persimmon Cookie Recipe

These Persimmon Cookies are soft, spiced, and wonderfully old-fashioned — the kind of recipe that comes straight from handwritten cards tucked inside a family cookbook. Made with ripe Hachiya persimmons (not Fuyu!), these cookies bake up tender and cake-like, filled with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add in nuts and raisins, and you get a nostalgic, fall-flavored cookie that tastes like home. If you grew up with persimmon trees in the backyard or had a grandma who baked these every season… this recipe brings all those memories rushing back. 📌 PRINTABLE RECIPE: http://adventuresineverydaycooking.com/recipes/persimmon-cookies/ 🎄 This is this final cookie in my 3rd Annual 12 Cookies of Christmas Series!
