How to Make Crispy Oat Hermits
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your baking sheets.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chopped dried apricots, and 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite).
- Using a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop or two teaspoons, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
