Nutmeg Hermits
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg or
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Preheat the oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, baking soda, and nutmeg. Beat until combined. Scrape the bowl occasionally. Beat in the eggs and the vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Stir in the raisins and the pecans. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 to 8 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Let cool. Makes about 26 cookies
