Yield Makes about 5 dozen 3-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 cups Special K cereal
12 ounce bag milk-chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda and powder, and salt. Beat together shortening, sugars, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in flour mixture on low speed until just combined. Stir in oats, cereal, chips, and coconut.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of batter 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, in middle of oven until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • To make sure your cookies are evenly baked, use a cookie scoop to ensure that each cookie is the same size. This will help them bake at the same rate.
  • Don't overmix your dough. Overmixing can make your cookies tough.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make this recipe by hand. Just be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy.
  • If you want to make your cookies extra chewy, add an extra 1/2 cup of oats to the dough.
  • Be sure to let your cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Ranger cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're chewy, gooey, and loaded with oats, coconut, and nuts. If you're looking for a classic cookie recipe that everyone will love, ranger cookies are the perfect choice.
