FAQ
I've come to learn that there are all sorts of theories about how these cookies came to be named. Some say hermit cookies got their name because they taste best when they've been hidden away like hermits for a couple days. There's the theory that they looked like a hermit's brown cloth.
Made with a flavorful combination of molasses, raisins, and spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves, hermits are especially nice during the holiday season, but I love them year-round.
National Spicy Hermit Cookie Day celebrates a cookie flavor reminiscent of autumn spices. Recognized on November 15th, this time of year is ideal for baking up a batch of these delicious cookies.

Etymology. The word hermit comes from the Latin ĕrēmīta, the latinisation of the Greek ἐρημίτης (erēmitēs), of the desert, which in turn comes from ἔρημος (erēmos), signifying desert, uninhabited, hence desert-dweller; adjective: eremitic.
