Ingredients
½ cup
margarine
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup persimmon pulp
1 cup chopped prunes
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves

Directions
Cream margarine, add sugars gradually, mixing well. Add egg, then persimmon pulp, prunes and walnuts. Add dry ingredients which have been sifted together, gradually.
Personal note: Each batch seems to turn out a bit different. If you find that your batter is a but too soft add small amounts of flour to the batch to get it be a bit stiffer.

When baking, I watch for the center of the cookies are not to be shiny any longer, then taking them out if the oven to finish baking on the cookie sheet.
