Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, if using. Set aside.
- With the help of an electric mixer, or in the large bowl of a standing mixer, beat the vegetable shortening, butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Once the fats are creamed with the sugar, add the egg and cold coffee. Beat on low speed until well blended.
- Little by little, add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and stir until well combined. Use low speed to fold all of the ingredients into a sticky dough. Stop the mixer once you have a nice creamy consistency.
- Fold in the dates or raisins and the walnuts.
- Drop the cookie dough by rounded teaspoon or small cookie scoop onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. They will spread out when cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until light brown.
- Remove the cookies immediately and place them on top of a cooling rack. As they cool off, the texture will get chewier.
- Enjoy!

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
