I only bake once a year, and that's mostly because I enjoy giving people baked goods. It makes them very happy and I like to get the praise. I mostly bake banana bread, persimmon bread, persimmon cookies, and pina colada bread. (I'll provide my recipe if anyone is interested.)

I have four large Hachiya persimmons ripening on my window sill right now. I usually make both bread and cookies, which require different recipes, but this year since it's just me at home, I'm only making cookies. I enjoy experimenting with the ingredients, adjust the quantities to get different outcomes in texture, size, rising, etc.

I might try making pumpkin cookies for fun. Pumpkin pulp is thicker than persimmon pulp, so I'll need to find the right balance of liquid for that, but it sounds fantastic.
