Hermits do bring back fond memories! I had gotten my first cookbook, Fannie Farmer’s Boston Cooking School. It was freezing in our Cambridge, MA apartment, so my roommate and I baked these hefty, spicy, raisin-studded cookies and ate them warm right out of the pan. They do seem like a perfect fall cookie. Thanks for sharing. I think I’ll do as you suggest and listen to the podcast while making them!😄 🍪
I love hermits. My mom always put a small piece of bread in with the brown sugar to keep it soft. The bread never turned moldy, I guess it was preserved by the sugar.
Oh yummy! I can't wait to make the hermits (I've never heard of hermits before!) I'm curious what does the instant coffee powder do? Thank you so much Amie and for the great resources to check out. :)

One of my mom’s favorite cookbooks and still on the shelf...
Me too!

Good tip, Vicki!
Love how you packaged the podcast with the recipe. Brilliant! 😍
Ha! It’s a package deal, K!
The small amount of coffee gives it a very subtle undertone and mingles well with the dark, rich molasses.
