Ingredients

• 2 whole Ripe persimmons
• 1 whole Ripe banana
• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 50 grams Chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the persimmons and remove any seeds. Mash the persimmon pulp in a bowl until smooth. You should have about 1/2 cup of persimmon puree.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 5

Add the persimmon puree, mashed banana, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well to combine.

Step 6

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 9

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set in the middle.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Enjoy your delicious homemade Persimmon Banana Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
