Persimmon & Raisin Cookie

Preheat oven to 350F

Dissolve the baking soda into the persimmon jelly and mix well.

Next, add all of the ingredients except for the butter, in the order listed at the top one at a time mixing well.

Once everything is mixed in, add the melted butter and mix well.

Drop the cookies by the spoonful onto an ungreased baking sheet or wax paper.

Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

For extra flavor- glaze them with lemon icing. This will make about 40 small cookies.
