Cookies with persimmon and walnuts are an exquisite dessert that combines the warm aromas of Italian cuisine with the delicate sweetness of persimmon. Its history is linked to traditional autumn treats when persimmons reach their peak ripeness and become soft, juicy, and honey-sweet. In this recipe, persimmon is turned into puree, adding moisture and a rich fruity flavor to the dough that pairs wonderfully with subtle notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Walnuts add a pleasant crunchy texture, enriching the cookies with a nutty aroma. Perfect for cozy evenings with a cup of tea or coffee and as a refined addition to the festive table.
