• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts with a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! These hermits taste even better the next day as their flavors deepen.
