Hermit Bars

The Story: Y’all, this is my most-requested recipe! I do not know how many times I have shared it with others. My mom started making these years and years ago and they are easy and have that perfect blend of bright spiciness!

Ingredients:

¾ cup butter, softened

½ cup sugar

½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 large egg, beaten

¼ cup molasses

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

¾ teaspoon ground cloves

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup raisins

Vegetable cooking spray

Additional sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°. Beat butter at high speed of an electric mixer in a medium bowl until creamy; gradually add sugars beating well. Add egg and molasses; beat well.

Combine flour and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; stir well. Gradually add to butter mixture, mixing well. Stir in raisins.

Coat fingers with vegetable cooking spray. Press mixture into an UNGREASED 15-x10-x1-inch baking pan. (Recoat fingers with cooking spray as needed.) Sprinkle top with additional sugar. Bake at 350’ for 11-14 minutes or until very golden. Let cool. Cut into bars.
