Used cinnamon sugar and grandsons loved them. I baked 1/2 of dough at the recommended temp but pretzels did not brown. I stored remaining dough in refrigerator. The next day I baked them at 375 for 10 minutes and they browned nicely. I let them rise before baking. I might use just 8 minutes the next time because the pretzels were a little dry. I will definitely try these again.

These cookies are so delicious. Not too sweet, not too bland, but just right. I've been trying various recipes over the years. This recipe is the best I've tried. I wanted to make them as a bar cookie but from the directions I was unsure what size pan or pans. So I made them as a drop cookie -- tablespoon size of dough. I baked them at 350 for 13-15 min. I did not want them to dry out too much. A soft center is characteristic of Hermits.

Very delicious. I cut back on the amount of oil. I used dry sun dried tomatoes that I marinated in olive oil since that is what I had. Eat all of the salad the first day because it does not keep.
