How to Make Margie's Hermits
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of shortening, 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar, and 1 large egg until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1/2 cup cold, strong brewed coffee.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups raisins and 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans are recommended).
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a light touch with your finger leaves almost no imprint. Avoid overbaking.
