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

Yield Makes 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

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
