Heidi and I did not know that her Hermit cookies were some of Beth's(our daughter) favorites but when she was talking to her today about her trip home this weekend, Heidi mentioned the hermits and she got all excited so I guess we know now that they are some of her favorites. She flies in tomorrow so Heidi is out in the kitchen right now making the hermits. The recipe actually comes from her Aunt Alice. She is another story all together that you will have to hear sometime. Just know that Beth says that she can take a rock, water, salt and a potato and make a soup so delicious you would eat it for a week!
Heidi and Aunt Al's Hermits
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon baking soda
2-1/2 cups floor
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoons cloves
raisins
Mix this all together.
Pour into a greased or sprayed pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 35 - 40 minutes, we think, but I will edit this post later with the exact time. ------- The time is right - about 40 minutes but you need to have them in a pan so that they are about an inch thick. Heidi changed it a little this time, she did not use water but put coffee in instead -- Good choice, great taste!!
This is going to be a GREAT weekend with our daughter home for the first time in almost a year!
Jon & Heidi
