Recipe Note

What does one do with an extra cup of persimmon puree and a couple of cups of date pieces? One comes up with a new cookie recipe! These turned out the mounded cookies that our family so loves. When my husband commented 'these might be the best cookies you've ever made,' I knew they were good enough to share.
