HERMITS
Dress up a cookie plate with these old-fashioned spice bars full of raisins, molasses, cinnamon, ginger and nuts. Then dip the chewy treats in coffee or hot cocoa on frosty days. It's said the cookies are called "hermits" because you can hide them out of sight, just like hermits, for days. They'll be just as good-maybe even better as the flavors blend and develop! -Jeri Tirmenstein, Apache Junction, Arizona

HERMITS
Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices; stir well to mix. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and brown sugar until combined. Beat in the egg until the mixture is smooth. Lower the speed and beat in half the flour mixture, then all the cold coffee. Scrape the bowl and beaters well, then beat in the remaining flour mixture. Stir in the raisins and walnuts. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 1 hour.
- About 20 minutes before you are ready to bake the cookies, set the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Drop teaspoonfuls of the dough 2 or 3 inches apart onto the prepared pans. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they spread and become firm. Slide the papers off the pans onto racks. After the cookies have cooled, detach them from the paper and store them between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover.
HERMITS (BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS 1969)
A distinctively different hermit recipe. No molasses, no coffee, but lots of flavor. My mother made these every year. The current BHG recipe is different.

BETTY CROCKER'S HERMITS
My family has been making this recipe every Christmas. Our now very- worn Betty Crocker cookbook has this page virtually disintegrating, which is why I wanted to put it up here. Note the original recipe calls for a temperature of 400, but I find that this frequently results in burnt bottoms and underdone tops. I prefer 350, with a slightly longer bake time.

Steps:
- Prepare coffee, set aside to chill (just needs to come to room temperature).
- In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar with the egg. Now, add in the cold coffee - mixture will look a bit brown and foamy, that's okay.
- In a a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Slowly combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients above. Now stir in the raisins and walnuts.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably several hours) - this step is key!
- Once the dough is ready, drop spoonfuls (a bit more than a tablespoon) onto a high-rimmed pan (helps keep them dense- it you like lighter, more spread out cookies do it on a no-rim pan).
- Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.

ICED HERMITS
These bars, topped with brown-sugar icing and candied ginger, are best a day or two after they are baked so the flavors have a chance to deepen.

Steps:
- Make bars: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-15-inch rimmed baking sheet. Line bottom with parchment paper, and butter parchment; set aside. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and cloves in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Put butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until smooth. Add brown sugars; mix until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in egg and yolk, and molasses. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Mix in 1/2 cup candied ginger and the raisins.
- Spread dough evenly onto prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until firm, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool completely in baking sheet on a wire rack.
- Make icing: Put brown sugar, milk, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter has melted and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat; whisk in vanilla and confectioners sugar. If icing is too thick to drizzle, stir in more milk, a teaspoon at a time. If icing is too thin, stir in more confectioners sugar, a teaspoon at a time. Let cool slightly.
- Drizzle bars with icing; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup candied ginger. Let stand until icing has set, about 15 minutes. Cut into 2-inch squares. Bars can be stored in single layers in airtight containers at room temperature up to 5 days.
