Ingredients for Betty Crocker S Hermits

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • Brown Sugar
  • Egg
  • Coffee
  • Sifted Flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup raisins
  • Walnuts

How to Make Betty Crocker S Hermits

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two baking sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the raisins, chopped nuts, and chocolate chips.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
