Persimmon Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

JACKIE'S PERSIMMON OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, salt, and cinnamon.
• Preheat the oven to 350ºF, and in a small cup, stir together the warm water and ground flaxseed and let it sit for 3 minutes.
• Use a blender or food processor to pulse the persimmon, sugar, coconut oil, molasses, and vanilla together. Then, add the flax/water to the wet mixture and puree together until it has an even consistency.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and combine until there are no dry pockets. Fold in the raisins and walnuts into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
• Using two baking sheets coated with a very thin layer of coconut oil, spoon 2-tablespoon-sized mounds of dough at least 1" apart, and press on them gently to flatten a bit. Bake for 15 mins, or longer if you prefer crunchier cookies.
