Creating these incredible persimmon cookies is straightforward. Follow these steps to make your batch:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Persimmons: Peel the persimmons and blend them in a food processor until smooth to create the puree.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the persimmon puree, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Add Extras: If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and raisins or chocolate chips.
7. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
