Ingredients

1/4 cup raisins or currants

Note: If I'm in the mood, I add some shredded apple

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

2 cups flour

4 Tbsps. butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup molasses

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp. cloves

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Grease a 9 X 13 inch cake pan or some cookie sheets.

Toss the raisins or currants and the chopped nuts in 1/4 cup of the flour and place to one side.

Cream the butter, then add the sugar and blend well.

Add the salt, eggs, and molasses and beat well.

Mix together the remaining 1-3/4 cups flour, the baking soda, cream of tartar, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

Add to the butter-sugar-egg mixture and beat thoroughly.

Stir in the raisins and nuts.

Spread in the pan or drop by teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheets. Bake only until the top is firm and the center chewy, about 15-20 minutes for the squares or 8-10 minutes for the cookies.

Great 5 recipe. My Aunt always made these during the fall and winter months and I enjoyed eating them more than anyone else in the family. Thanks so much.

Lor,
Hermits and Snickerdoodles used to be the only cookies I ever baked, back in the days of being a student. I just saw a similar idea of making hermits into bars and then I saw this one, different, but still a bar. I will have to try this one! Love the spice flavor!!! Thanks for sharing this with us.
