Hermits are quintessential New England cookies, and there are many variations. Some are heavy with molasses while others, like ours, are richly spiced. But all hermits are moist and chewy. They're often baked as bar cookies, but we liked ours shaped into rounds and drizzled with a simple maple glaze. The finished cookies keep well in an airtight container for up to two days.

Tip

Don't drizzle the glaze on cookies while they're warm. The cookies need to be fully cooled for the glaze to set.
