Ranger Cookies

Ranger cookies have been a favorite at our place for decades...a recipe I got from a friend's mom...and which I still have in my recipe box in her handwriting. I used to bake chocolate chip cookies for the kids...and these for myself. And now it seems everyone likes ranger cookies.

Ranger Cookies

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups oatmeal
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• 1 cup rice krispees

1. Cream butter and sugar. 
2. Add eggs and blend well; add vanilla.
3. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt...mix well. 
4. Mix in remaining ingredients...stir until well blended. 
5. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet and bake at 350° for about 10 to 12 minutes. 

Since we like rather substantial cookies...I use an ice-cream scoop as my 'spoonful' and flatten the mounds somewhat with a fork. Makes about 4 dozen large cookies.

Try them...you'll like them...fresh out of the oven...or right out of the freezer!
