Finally got to put an apron on again... and it wasn't for work :)



Here's a twist to one of my favorite cookie recipes: 1952 City School Ranger Cookies.
I guess I would just call the cookies I made today: Ranger Cookies

Here's the recipe:
1 c. butter (room temp)
1 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
2 c. four
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. rolled oats
*2. c. corn flakes
*1/2 c. coconut
*1/2 c. chocolate chips
*1/2 c. chopped walnuts
---------------------------
the rest of the recipe here is my twist... I used these ingredients instead of the asterisked ones (*) above:
2 c. Berry Yogurt Crunch Cereal 
1/2 c. chocolate chips
1/4 c. white chocolate chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
Cream butter with sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add oats, corn flakes, coconut, chocolate chips, and nuts. Stir until blended. 
Drop by Tbsps onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten cookies with spatula. 
Bake for 10-13 minutes. Cookies should be slightly soft when taken out of oven.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies. 


The Ranger Cookies I made today were really good! I wanted to bake something and saw that we had 4 boxes of this Fiber Plus Berry Yogurt Crunch Cereal, so I thought... 1952 City School Ranger Cookies!! I really like the twist to this recipe because it has a fruity twist (like how cranberries taste in a cookie). But, I really like the original 1952 City School Ranger Cookies... I mean, it is awesome. All the different ingredients put together make an awesome cookie :) So that's why I included both recipes... you choose what kind of Ranger Cookies you want to make. Hey, your pantry may decide for you :) that's how it usually is for me!
