Yield Makes 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
3/4 cup raisins

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Butter parchment; set pan aside. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and cloves; set aside.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg; beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl once. Add molasses; beat until combined and scrape down sides of bowl. Add the flour mixture and raisins; beat on low until dough just comes together, about 1 minute. Press dough into prepared pan. Bake until golden but still very soft to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into bars. Hermit bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

HERMITS

Hermits image

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
