SPICY HERMIT BARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Place the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the egg, scrape down the bowl, then mix in the molasses.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Mix in the raisins and crystallized ginger. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Turn the dough out onto a very lightly floured board, form it into a disk with lightly floured hands, and cut it in half. Roll each half into a log 12 inches long and place them 3 inches apart on the prepared sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes; the logs will still be soft in the center.
- Meanwhile, whisk the confectioners' sugar with 5 to 6 teaspoons rum to make a pourable glaze. While the logs are still warm, drizzle the glaze back and forth across the logs with a teaspoon and sprinkle them with the lemon zest. Allow to cool. Cut each log crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide bars.
HERMIT BARS FROM THE FAT WITCH
This recipe comes from The Fat Witch Bakery in New York. I just made a batch for Mr. Paul, and he said they were outstanding, in between mouthfuls. Hope he leaves me one or two.

Steps:
- Grease a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with butter. Dust with flour and tap out the excess. Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream the butter and sugar til fluffy and smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and continue beating as you add the molasses.
- Measure the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves, nutmeg, and salt and sift together into the batter. Mix the batter gently until well mixed and no trace of dry ingredients remains. Stir in the raisins and nuts, if desired, by hand. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake for 22 minutes or til a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with only crumbs, not batter, sticking to it. The edges should be starting to pull away from the sides of the pan. Note: I used and 8 x 8 inch pan and had to add about 5 minutes more cooking time, but that's just me. If I would have used a 9 x 9 inch pan, maybe the 22 minutes would have been fine.
- Remove from oven and cool on rack for 1 hour. Cut just before serving. Makes 12 to 16 bars.

HEALTHY HERMIT BARS
Hermit bars are basically an old fashioned spice cookie baked into a soft, chewy bar filled with raisins and nuts. They're said to date back to the late 1800s when the wives of New England sailors would make these for their husbands to take out to sea because they traveled so well. These are made with 100% whole grains, Omega rich almonds and walnuts, and magnesium rich molasses and Demerara sugar.
