Cream shorteining and sugar. Beat in egg, molasses and coffee. Sift
rest of ingredients together and add. Beat well. If needed, add more flour
but not too much or cookies will be hard and dry. Two ways to bake 1) drop
by spoonfuls on buttered cooky sheet and bake about 10 minutes at 375 F. 2)
spread in two 9x9" cake tins. Bake about 12 minutes. While hot sprinkle
with brown sugar. Cut in bars.
NOTES : Once people served Hermits often as we do brownies today.
Donna's Mother-In-Law's recipe. She was born in 1896 so this is a very old
recipe.
