My great aunt used to make these every holiday season. They were a favorite during family gatherings on my Mothers side. My wife’s’ side of the family find them tasty too. It is a nice break form the normal sweet cookie. Read more They are best when fresh I don’t think they freeze very well but they seem to get eaten. See less

This is one of my favorites! When I was a kid, my neighbor had a persimmon tree in her back yard. She would freeze the pulp so she could make cookies all through the year.
