MOLASSES BARS



Molasses Bars image

These are my Grandma Marion's Molasses Bars, also known as hermit bars. Chewy, delicious sweet bars for the molasses lovers!

Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups of white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup and 2 tablespoons of margarine (or butter)
2 small eggs
1 1/2 cups of raisins
1/2 cup of molasses
3 1/4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons rounded baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
dash of allspice

Steps:

  • Kick the tires and light the fires to 375 °F.
  • Cream the sugars and the margarine together. Add in your two eggs and beat in completely.
  • Add in the molasses to the margarine/sugar mix and mix in thoroughly.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients.
  • Combine the wet and dry and mix well.Then add in your raisins.
  • Divide the dough into two pieces, and from each half form three long rolls on a cookie sheet.
  • Build them up as high as you can and they fit across a baking sheet, width-wise. When you build them up, you get a thicker, chewier bar.
  • Bake them in the oven at 375 for 13-15 minutes, and do not over/under bake. This from my grandma's instructions. So they need to be baked until the edges are cooked and the middle slightly still underdone.
  • Slice them across into about 8-10 squares when they are fully cooled, needless to say, this recipe makes a large amount, you can end up with 40-60 of the little bars!

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

SPICY HERMIT BARS



Spicy Hermit Bars image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 14 to 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light or dark brown sugar, lightly packed
1 extra-large egg, at room temperature
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup minced crystallized ginger (not in syrup)
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
Dark rum, such as Mount Gay
Grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the egg, scrape down the bowl, then mix in the molasses.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Mix in the raisins and crystallized ginger. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured board, form it into a disk with lightly floured hands, and cut it in half. Roll each half into a log 12 inches long and place them 3 inches apart on the prepared sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes; the logs will still be soft in the center.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the confectioners' sugar with 5 to 6 teaspoons rum to make a pourable glaze. While the logs are still warm, drizzle the glaze back and forth across the logs with a teaspoon and sprinkle them with the lemon zest. Allow to cool. Cut each log crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide bars.

HEALTHY HERMIT BARS



Healthy Hermit Bars image

Hermit bars are basically an old fashioned spice cookie baked into a soft, chewy bar filled with raisins and nuts. They're said to date back to the late 1800s when the wives of New England sailors would make these for their husbands to take out to sea because they traveled so well. These are made with 100% whole grains, Omega rich almonds and walnuts, and magnesium rich molasses and Demerara sugar.
