DESCRIPTION:

Spicy Hermit Cookie Day celebrates the unique New England sweet.

Hermit cookies, known for their distinctive spicy flavor and chewy texture, have a history that is as intriguing as their name. Originating in the New England region of the United States during the 19th century, these cookies have become a beloved treat with a legacy that spans over a century.

The name "hermit" is shrouded in mystery, with several theories attempting to explain its origin. One popular belief is that these cookies were named for their ability to be stored for long periods, much like a hermit living in seclusion. This longevity was due to the rich molasses, spices, and dried fruits in the recipe, which acted as natural preservatives.

Another theory suggests that the cookies' somewhat plain appearance, lacking the elaborate decorations of other 19th-century confections, led to their being named after the modest attire of hermits. Regardless of the origin of their name, hermit cookies quickly gained popularity for their rich taste and the convenience of their long shelf life.

The classic hermit cookie recipe features a blend of spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg combined with ingredients like molasses, brown sugar, raisins, and nuts. This combination results in a moist, chewy texture, rich in flavors that deepen over time. Traditionally, these cookies were baked as bars and then cut into small squares or rectangles, but today, it is just as common to find them in drop cookie form.

Hermit cookies have endured and thrived over the years; their recipes have been passed down through generations of bakers. They are a staple in New England bakeries and are particularly beloved during the holiday season, though their hearty nature makes them a comforting choice year-round.
