They ended up tasting really good! My husband asked me to make a batch with Chocolate chips in them and he really liked them. Like really….ate 10 cookies in about 5 mins! It’s not fair it does nothing to him to do that! Anyway they tasted really good so go try them if you ever find persimmon!
Happy Baking!!
