Persimmon Cookies

Since we have a lot of Persimmons still in our refrigerator, I tried to create my own recipe based on the on at least 3 recipes that I got from the web. Hubby knows me so well that I just don't copy the recipe that I found in any source. I have to read it and imagine what the output will be. If I don't like the ingredient, I will certainly change it with something I like. That's what happen to this recipe. My cookies really come out good. It's not very sweet at all as I used splenda instead of regular sugar.

Here is the list of things that you will need:
* 2 ripe persimmons, pureed
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp ground cloves
* 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/2 tsp no salt (salt substitute)
* 1 whole egg
* 1 cup sugar blend (splenda)
* 1/2 unsalted butter
* 1 cup craisins
* 1/2 cup choco chips

Here is how to do it:
* Preheat oven to 350º F
* Dissolve baking soda in persimmon pulp and set aside.
* Sift flour and spices and salt then set aside.
* Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.
* Beat in egg and persimmon.
* Stir in dry ingredients and mix.
* Add craisins and chips.
* Drop a teaspoonful into grease cookie sheet.
* Bake for 15 minutes.

I love these cookies.... It makes me forget my chocolate cup cakes!
