Best Grandmas Hermits Recipes
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.

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
