Dr. Chase's Hermit Cookies



Dr. Chase's Hermit Cookies

homemade-dessert-recipes.com
This old time recipe is curated from the book "Dr. Chase's Third, Last and Complete Receipt Book, Memorial Edition" by Dr. Alvin Wood Chase, M.D., published by F. B. Dickerson Company, Detroit and Windsor, in 1891.

Brown sugar, 1-1/2 cups; 3 eggs; butter, 1 cup; raisins, chopped, 1 cup; sour milk, 2 tablespoonfuls; soda, 1 teaspoonful; cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice, of each 1/2 teaspoonful; flour enough to roll out; cut out as in cookies and bake in a quick oven till done.

Note: when the recipe calls for "flour enough to roll out," it simply means to add flour until the cookie dough can be rolled out.
