The best way of enjoying Persimmon, the healthy fruit is by eating it fresh. It is also use as ingredient when making cakes, desserts, pies and ice cream. At home, you can add persimmon slices to salads or puree them to make smoothies, jellies, a topping for pancakes, or use it as a flavoring for yogurt. It can also be mixed with other fruits to create a fruit salad.Actually i googled to know how to prepare cookies with this healthy fruits..as i bought ragi flour i just added them while making cookies, initially i want to make cookies just with ragi but finally as usual i add rolled oats also this cookie is eggless coz i used egg replacer powder, its such a healthy also delicious cookies everyone at home loved it much...

I made this recipe with 100% whole grain SPROUTED flour instead of all purpose flour and it was amazing. Sprouted flour by Shiloh Farms is delicious and digests as a vegetable!
