Hermit cookies are delicious lightly spiced cookies packed with walnuts, raisins and dates. Dates and the brown sugar make these cookies so chewy and sticky-sweet.
I like to soak the raisins and dates in boiled water for 10 minutes. The raisins are much softer and the dates almost melt into the cookie.
If you don't like raisins, I made the same recipe with chocolate chips and there are amazing.
