Hermit Cookies

These. Are. My. Favorite. Cookies.  Just sayin'  
Let's make some!

[almost] Everything you need.

Cream the butter and sugar, and add the egg! I do it by hand while making blender noises.

Hey don't judge!

Don't forget to add in the Milk and Vanilla.

In a different bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.  Smell those spices!

Whisk it instead of sifting... it's the easy way out. 

Mix the dry ingredients into the egg/sugar mixture.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the dough into even balls. Dip in turbinato sugar, and lay out on a cookie sheet.

Cook!!

 

Eat!! They're best with milk. 

Hermit Cookies

1/2 cup Butter or Margarine, softened

3/4 cup packed Brown Sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons Milk 

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour

1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves

1/8 teaspoon Salt

Cream together Butter and Brown Sugar, blending until smooth.  Blend in the Egg, and then the Milk and Vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together Flour, Baking Soda, Salt and ground spices.  Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the wet and mix until combined. 

Scoop with a 1" cookie scoop, or spoon, and roll into balls. Dip in Turbinato Sugar for a pretty top. Bake in an oven preheated to 350, for 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant. 

Remove from pan, and cool on a wire rack. 

Eat them all at once!
