Betty Crocker'S Hermits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened (not melted)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
1/4 cup cold coffee
1 3/4 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/4 cups raisins
3/4 cup chopped walnuts (toasted, if you like)

Preparation

Prepare coffee, set aside to chill (just needs to come to room temperature).
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar with the egg. Now, add in the cold coffee - mixture will look a bit brown and foamy, that's okay.
In a a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Slowly combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients above. Now stir in the raisins and walnuts.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably several hours) - this step is key!
Once the dough is ready, drop spoonfuls (a bit more than a tablespoon) onto a high-rimmed pan (helps keep them dense- it you like lighter, more spread out cookies do it on a no-rim pan).
Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.
