Ranger Cookies
These ranger cookies have long been an American family favorite. Ingredients include chocolate chips, coconut, cornflakes, oats, and optional chopped nuts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 2 cups corn flakes
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, or milk chocolate
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350 F.
- Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Alternatively, lightly grease the pans.
- In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat the butter with the granulated and brown sugars. Blend in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and blend well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the first mixture; blend well.
- Stir in the rolled oats, corn flakes, coconut, chocolate chips, and pecans.
- Shape the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar and arrange on the baking sheet.

- Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until set and lightly browned on the bottoms.
- The recipe makes about 5 dozen ranger cookies.
