Persimmon Cookie Recipe

I promised I would share with the world my "revered Persimmon cookie" recipe passed down through the ages.  It's nothing difficult or fancy.  Just plain old goodness! 

3/4 Cup of vegetable oil ( or 1 cup shortening).   I prefer oil.
1 Cup sugar
1 fresh egg
Mix the three of these together.
Add 1 Cup of persimmon pulp (almost mushy).  Then add 2 Cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda,
1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.  Stir together with egg mixture.  Add 1 Cup raisins.  Drop by spoonfuls on greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 in oven for 10 minutes. 

This will give your house a wonderful holiday aroma, and you will have delicious cookies to boot! 

Men seem to really love these cookies.   (Just my experience).
