Persimmon Cookies With Cream Cheese Icing
"This is a family favorite. The recipe comes from"Old Fashion Presimmon Recipes" by Bear Wallow Books from Nashville, IN. I have been making these cookies for years and my grown children complain that now they only get them at Christmas. The prep time does not include getting the pulp ready. I am only guessing at prep time."

No stars for me on this one after my first attempt. We really tried to make it work, but I think the proportion of flour to wet ingredients is off, with not enough flour for the ingredients. I checked other, similar recipes and attempted to add enough flour to make it hold together but doing this created a doughy and unappetizing cookie. I think it has potential to be a fantastic cookie, but was sorry it didn't work out for us! -
This is a great recipe,I used it twice already.The second time I made these I added chopped dates(1/2 cup and 1/2 cup golden rasins)I also used 2 1/4 cup powdered sugar and added 1 teaspoon of orange extract in the icing,it was a little bit thicker and the orange gave it an extra burst of flavor.Thanks for the recipe.

I love the outdoors and enjoy being with our family. I love to garden and have found so many excellent recipes on Recipezaar for our produce including canning and freezing. We put out a small orchard and berry patch last fall. Can't wait for the trees and berries to start producing. I'm sure I will find and submit more recipes. Thank You all.
