Hermit Cookies #Recipe

Hermit cookies are soft, spicy cookies that will help fill up the cookie jar. These cookies are packed with raisins and walnuts. As a little switch consider making these little cookies with cranberries and pecans.

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350.
Whisk flour, baking soda, all the spices and the salt.
Put shortening, both sugars and eggs in a mixer and beat at high speed until well combined.
Add flour on low speed, and then stir in raisins and nuts.
Drop generous teaspoonfuls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet and bake until lightly golden, about 12-14 minutes. Cool on rack.
