Notes: A Hermit is a soft cookie sold in the 1960's here in Kansas City. They were sold by an old upscale family grocery store called Wolferman's - now long gone. This store was one of those institutions that people flocked to. The cookie was also sold around the corner on Petticoat Lane downtown at another long gone local bakery called the Cake Box.
So what is a Hermit? Cookies fall into several basic types. A Hermit is a cake cookie-that is, something closer to a muffin or a small round cake, than a crisp cookie such as a chocolate chip. Some make these cookies with nuts & raisins and are flavored with cinnamon, cloves & nutmeg.
