ISO: ISO:persimmon cookie recipe

[oli]

I know there are a bunch of persimmon cookie recipes out there, but I trust this site where people have experience and like their particular recipe. So I've searched here and not found a persimmon cookie recipe.

Does anybody have one that my wife can use?

Thanks

No problem. Hope you enjoy! My persimmons still need some serious time before they go pureed.
