Description

This persimmon oatmeal cookie recipe yields the perfect fall cookie. They're flecked with toffee bits and lightly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup English toffee-flavored baking bits (such as Heath®)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 egg
1 cup persimmon puree
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 Whisk oats, flour, toffee bits, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a bowl; set aside.
3 Beat brown sugar and butter together in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, 2 minutes. Beat in egg, then beat in persimmon purée and vanilla. Beat flour mixture into persimmon mixture until dough is just moistened and no streaks of flour or oats remain.
4 Drop spoonfuls of dough spaced 1 1/2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until slightly browned on edges, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
