I assume you mean a recipe for persimmon cookies, not an entire cookbook! If so, here is one:
Persimmon Cookies
2 large ripe persimmons, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
Process chopped persimmon in a food processor until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides. Measure 1 cup pulp. Combine pulp, sugar, oil, and egg, stirring until mixture is smooth. Combine flour, soda, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add persimmon mixture, stirring until blended. Stir in raisins and walnuts.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 9 minutes. Transfer to wire racks placed on wax paper.
Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice, stirring until smooth; drizzle over warm cookies. Cool. Makes 5 dozen

A search on Amazon for "persimmon cookbooks" brings up a few titles, such as Persimmons: From Seed to Supper by Jack W. Hazelton and The French-Icarian Persimmon Tree Cookbook by Louise Anderson Lum. Dried persimmons can be substituted for other fruits in dried food cookbooks such as New Concepts in Dehydrated Food Cookery: Hundreds of New Ideas and Tested Recipes for Enjoying Home Dehydrated Foods by Barbara Densley
Searching for the phrase "persimmon cookies" brings up books with that phrase in it. At the bottom of each listing, Amazon has the page number where the phrase appears, along with enough of the quote to tell whether it’s a recipe or just a passing comment. If it’s a recipe you want to read, click on the page number and it will come up on your computer. I used this method to find the book Specialties of the House: A Country Inn and Bed & Breakfast Cookbook and found a recipe for persimmon cookies on page 78.
Persimmons--dried, fresh, or reconstituted--can be substituted for other kinds of fruit in any recipe, sweet or not.
