1. Oh, yeah!

I can't even pick my favorite. I like a lightly crispy edge with a soft gooey middle.

How about you?

2. I like raisin cookies, soft and gooey.

But, of these, I'd take the one with baking powder and baking soda. I didn't even know you could do that.

3. I just put my very first batch of persimmon bread in the oven, so

wish me luck.

It's got some great stuff in it, I'm just not convinced that the persimmons were fully ripe.

4. Wow, persimmon bread.

I'd be even more impressed if I had tasted a persimmon.

5. We bought these persmissons almost two months ago.

They are the slowest fruit to ripen I have ever seen.

If eaten too soon, they have an off-putting astringent taste.

If allowed to ripen, they are super sweet and very delicious.

These might be somewhere in between, as my patience with them finally gave out.

Will let you know.

9. Try dried cherries as a substitute.

And personally, I prefer pecans to walnuts.

6. I just go with the recipe on the bag and it turns out perfectly every time

I keep them in a sealed container with each layer separated by wax paper and they keep a lot better than in a cookie jar.

7. Chilled dough looks perfect! Good to know.

8. I always go with chilled. I usually make the dough the evening before I want to bake,

chill dough for an hour or so, scoop it into portions, and then refrigerate the scoops overnight. I've got a disposable aluminum half-sheet pan with plastic lid that I use for this, as it's a great size for storing my homemade "place and bake" cookies.
