Super Persimmon Cookies

Answering the call for persimmon recipes!  I've never made them, but they've always been delicious when my grandmother and my mom have made them!  I found the recipe in my grandmothers cookbook in her handwriting, so I'm not sure if it came from somewhere, because calling something "super" wasn't exactly her style... I have no idea how many cookies this makes or what the prep time is, but anyway, here you go!

Ingredients

• 3 c. butter
• 2 eggs
• 3 c. sugar
• 5 c. flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 5 tsp. baking powder
• 2 c. persimmon pulp
• 8 oz. crushed pineapple
• 8 oz. flaked coconut
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 c. chopped nuts

Instructions

Cream butter & sugar, add beaten eggs, persimmon pulp, pineapple & vanilla.  Add flour sifted wtih baking powder & salt.  Mix in a little at a time - add nuts & coconut.  Drop by teaspoonfuls on pans & bake 15 min or until bottom is slightly brown.

Enjoy!
