Have searched for Hermit cookie recipe and finally found this one. It is excellent. Thanks so much, Barb Gerrie -
Made for PAC, Spring 2007 ~ Well, it's possible I shouldn't even be reviewing this recipe, BUT I WILL, in spite of the fact that I substituted strong tea for the 'strong brewed coffee!' So, even though I DON'T know what the hermits SHOULD taste like with the coffee, I can tell you that they're JUST GREAT with tea!!!

I love food and I love to cook, but I rarely ever have the time to cook as often as I like. I love trying different foods and enjoy learning to make new foods.
