Recipe(tried): Rocks or Hermit Cookies for Dot

Dot, my Mom and Grandma referred to these as "Rocks" or "Hermits". It's a very old recipe.Doesn't say what size to make them, all it said, really, was, "Drop on baking sheet. Bake at 35o for 20 minutes. Makes 48 cookies." Hope it's what you are looking for. I will check my older cookbooks for you, too.

1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
