Anyone else finally feeling the cool weather?! I was SO very excited when I woke up this morning. I know it will leave again since it doesn't truly get cold here until Thanksgiving, but for now I am going to enjoy!
I don't know about you but cool weather always makes me want to BAKE! Today's recipe was picked, found, and made by hubby dearest.
I say picked because he had to go to the neighbors persimmon tree and get the fruit. Our neighbor doesn't even like them!
I'll have to admit... I had my first persimmon last week and it was, well, WEIRD! In my mind orange fruit should be tangy, but persimmons taste like fall. Seriously.
These cookies have won me over! My house smells SOOO good right now!
