I made them for the holidays and they were delicious. For the ingredient options I used sorghum flour, brown sugar, melted shortening, and pecans. The almond flour I had on hand was off so I picked up some almond flour-ish stuff at TJs and it worked just fine - at least if something was wrong I certainly couldn't tell. Once the batter was well incorporated I refrigerated it for a fair while and then brought it back to room temp when I was ready to bake. As a result my cookies flattened out and were cookie-shaped not blocky, as Sea discussed, and there was absolutely no graininess. I would suggest not adding the baking soda to the persimmon puree *too* long before mixing everything together. I mixed the two and then became a bit sidetracked, and by the time I got back to baking it had turned to a weird persimmon gel. It whipped up just fine but was definitely odd! @tarice, I will gladly vouch for these! I made them for the holidays and they were delicious.

This recipe looks good as all above comment, but I want to know how it tasted. I wish people would comment on a recipe after they make and taste it.

Now I have a great looking recipe to try. Thank you! I just saw these persimmons in the grocery store yesterday and thought I’ve always wanted to buy one to try it.

And these cookies look lovely. I rarely get my hands on any persimmons, but if I see them at the grocery, now I'll have something in mind to do with them (besides just eat them)!

The china was my great grandma's set- we used it for Christmas as well. Hi Zoe- I like using persimmons in baking. Let me know how it goes! :) Alisa- Drive on down any time. You can have as much fruit as you can haul away! Thanks for the well wishes. I'm hoping we get better soon... Hi SunnyB- Thank you! It has been pretty fun having the fruit trees in our back yard. :) Hi Valerie- Yes! We have an avocado tree. It blew my mind a little bit too. We don't have a doghouse, but we have an unoccupied dog run if that helps. lol. Also a gypsy van which might be nicer accommodations. ;)-Sea Hi GFVeg- Thanks!

From here in snowy Michigan that is just completely baffling for me to even begin to imagine -- it's like saying you can do magic. I am totally moving in to your doghouse. If you have a doghouse.
