    We loved this recipe. Found it a little hard to shape, so just spread it out in the pan and made it like a square. Didn't change the cooking time and they came out perfect. Will definitely make these again.

    If you like gingerbread cookies, you'll like this. However, the rolling the dough into a "log" part of this is strange and difficult to do because of the consistancy of the dough. Next time, I will completely cover 2 pans, bake, and use a cookie cutter, making a prettier cookie. While the taster is good, it's appreance was not so much...and i like serving food that looks good and tastes good.

    I cannot believe most everyone would not love this. I made it for a Board of Directors meeting earlier this year and the men loved it. I followed the receipe and they turned out moist, chewy (substance and were so flavorful. Very good. Baking times always very with each oven. That's why I use an oven thermometer and not count on the controls on the oven.

    I had no problem with the baking time- 15 minutes at 375 was just about right and the texture was close to perfect. The only thing I'd do differently is add more cranberries and ginger.

    I think the term "log" may have been the problem. I had to study the photo for a few min to figure out what was meant there. Basically, you want a flat-ish rectangle about 1-2" wide, 10" long and with a depth of about 1/2" - 1" (that's after separating the dough into "log" portions, 6 if you're going for the whole recipe. I used a regular half-sheet nonstick pan, two to a pan, and baked them at 325F for 15 minutes. I actually could have baked them for a few minutes less.

    Overall, they turned out quite good. I substituted dried cherries for the golden raisins and doubled the amount of crystallized ginger. They were cakey, but not too dry. If you want a more chewy/fudgelike cookie, I'd recommend adding dates or more dried cranberries. Resist the urge to add more flour -- you want a very sticky dough.

    I love Hermits, but the 15 minutes were not enough baking time. They turned out way too gooey in the middle. The recipe does not say how big a cookie sheet or how long the logs should be. Mine were about 11'' long and I used parchment paper underneath, so perhaps that contributed to it. I put them back in the oven and baked them about 12 minutes longer, but still wasn't happy with the outcome.

    The flavors of the ginger and cranberries were a nice addition, but I think I will stick with my old Hermit recipe
