Prepare the persimmon pulp
1
Cut off the top of each persimmon and remove the tiny core in the center.
2
Scoop out the pulp of each persimmon and place in the bowl of a food processor.
3
Process until smooth and reserve one cup of pulp for the cookies (you may have a bit left over).
Prepare the cookies
1
Position the oven racks to the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line (2) large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Place the butter, coconut sugar and orange zest in a large bowl and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
3
Add the egg, beating on low speed until incorporated. The batter will appear slightly curdled.
4
Add the persimmon pulp and vanilla, and beat on medium until combined
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1
Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and beat on low speed just until incorporated.
2
Fold in the oats, cranberries and pecans until well combined.
3
Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, scoop the dough out onto the prepared baking sheets about 2" apart, then flatten each cookie to about 1/2" thickness as they will not spread.
4
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until set, rotating the pans halfway through the baking time. Remove from heat and cool completely on wire racks. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Select Perfectly Ripe Hachiya Persimmons 🍂Choose persimmons that are completely soft and almost translucent when ripe, then strain the pulp through a fine mesh to remove any fibers for a silky cookie texture.
- Toast Your Pecans First 🥜Lightly toast pecan pieces in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes before adding to the batter to intensify their nutty flavor and create better textural contrast against the chewy cookies.
- Don't Overmix the Dough ✋Mix the wet and dry ingredients just until combined to prevent overdeveloping gluten, which would result in tough, cakey cookies instead of the desired soft and chewy texture.
- Zest Your Orange Strategically 🍊Add fresh orange zest to the butter and sugar when creaming for maximum flavor infusion, and consider a small pinch of orange zest on top of each cookie before baking for a bright flavor pop.
- Underbake by 1-2 Minutes ⏱️Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone, as they will continue cooking on the hot baking sheet for that signature chewy consistency.
