Persimmon Cookie Bars
Ingredients For: Persimmon Cookie Bars
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
1 c. vegetable oil
butter
flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
3 1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 or 3 Hachiya persimmons
1/2 lb. dates chopped and pitted
1 c. chopped walnuts
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c confectioners' sugar
Instructions For: Persimmon Cookie Bars
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter and flour a 10-inch-by-15-inch jelly-roll pan.
Peel 2 persimmons with a small, sharp knife, and remove and discard any seeds. You need 1 c. pulp. Peel and seed the third persimmon if necessary to achieve the required amount.
Place the pulp in a bowl, and add 1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice and baking soda. Set aside.
Beat the egg lightly in a small bowl using a wire whisk. Add the oil and dates, and stir to mix well.
In another small bowl, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Dividing the flour mixture into 3 batches, whisk it into the egg, alternating with the pulp. Begin and end with the flour.
Stir in the nuts, and then pour the entire mixture into the pan.
Bake persimmon cookie bars about 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes.
While the persimmon cookie bars are cooking, make the icing: Combine the confectioner's sugar and 2 tbsp. lemon juice, and stir until smooth.
Spread the baked persimmon cookie bars with the icing, and then let cool for 1 hour. Cut into rectangles, 3 inches by 1 1/2 inches.
Persimmon Cookie Bars Tips:
Choose very ripe, very soft persimmons. Use the dark orange Hachiya variety. The Fuyu persimmon does not produce the soft pulp needed for this recipe.
Jelly-roll pans are also known as Swiss roll pans.
Store the persimmon cookie bars between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to a week. Persimmon Cookie Barsrecipe makes about 24 to 30 bars.
Persimmon Cookie Bars consist of batter or other ingredients that are poured or pressed into a pan (sometimes in multiple layers), and cut into cookie-sized pieces after baking. Brownies are an example of a batter-type bar cookie, while Rice krispie treats are a bar cookie recipe that doesn't require baking.
