Hermit Cookies

I found this recipe on KatieFleck, sent to her by her friend Kate. Reprinted here with permission of Kate who said she would be visiting.

I remember them as a kid and hadn't thought about them in years. When she emailed me back, she said they were in the oven. If I tried hard, I could almost smell them baking.
