Spanish Persimon, Cranberry and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 14 minutes x 2
Makes 24 cookies

Ingredients

      • 3 ripe Spanish Persimon
      • 280g plain flour
      • 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
      • Pinch of salt
      • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
      • 1 tsp ground ginger
      • 120g unsalted butter, at room temperature
      • 150g caster sugar
      • 50g light soft brown sugar
      • 1 egg
      • 50g rolled oats
      • 85g dried cranberries
      • 50g plain or white chocolate, roughly chopped, or chips
      • Finely grated zest of 1 orange

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas mark 4.
  2. Finely chop 1 Persimon. With the remaining 2, scoop the flesh out of their skin and purée or mash with a fork.
  3. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and spices together. Set aside.
  4. Cream the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, using a hand-held electric mixer.
  5. Add the egg and beat until combined.
  6. Add the chopped Persimon and Persimon purée and mix well with a wooden spoon, then add the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
  7. Stir in the oats, dried cranberries, chocolate and orange zest until the mixture is a uniform consistency.
  8. Using half the mixture, heap 6 spoonfuls of dough onto each of 2 baking sheets lined with greaseproof paper, and spread them out with the back of a spoon or palette knife.
  9. Bake towards the centre of the oven until almost firm and golden brown, approximately 14 minutes. Cool on a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Cook’s tip: Sieve a little icing sugar and cinnamon over the top, slice and serve with a
drizzle of honey or some pouring cream.
