"Some lovin' from the oven"
I found this recipe for Ranger Cookies online and it immediately became one of my favorites. They are crisp and chewy and I don't feel TOO guilty having one (or two, or three).
Prep: 25 minutes Bake: 8 minutes Oven: 375 Makes: 54 (mine didn't make this much)
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups crisp rice cereal or 1 cup rolled oats (I chose oats)
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
1 cup raisins
1. In a medium mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda; beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Sir in cereal or oats, coconut, and raisins. Drop by rounded teaspoons on ungreased cookie sheet.
2. Bake in 375 degree oven about 8 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to a wire rack adn let cool.
Have fun making these ones because they are so yummy! If you decide to try it with the rice cereal instead of the oats let me know how they turn out.
Be inspired, get creative, and have fun!
