Every fall when persimmons are in season, I make these cookies because they're ridiculously easy and honestly quite elegant for something so simple. The persimmon pulp keeps them incredibly moist and tender while adding natural sweetness, so you don't need as much sugar as typical chocolate chip cookies. Plus, persimmons are packed with vitamin C and fiber, making these feel a little less guilty than your standard treat. The whole process takes about thirty minutes from start to finish, and the ingredients are probably already in your kitchen. These cookies have become my go to recipe when I want something homemade without spending half my day baking.
