Ranger Cookies
Report
Ranger Cookies are an old-fashioned oatmeal cookie made with plenty of cornflakes and walnuts for added crunch and flavor. They have chewy middles, crisp edges, and are one of my childhood favorites!

Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup Shortening*
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (282g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 cups cornflakes
- 1 cup walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Beat shortening and brown sugar in a large bowl until creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix again, stopping to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until combined.
- Stir in the cornflakes, oats, and walnuts.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart so they have room to spread. Bake for 9-11 minutes until just golden brown around the edges and on top.
Notes
- *Substitutions: An equal amount of salted butter or 2/3 cup of butter and 2/3 cup of shortening can be used. The taste will be slightly different and the cookies might spread a bit more with butter, but the cookies will still be great. Rice Krispies can be used instead of cornflakes. Pecans can be used instead of walnuts.

- Storage: Store the cooled ranger cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Any longer than that and they start tasting a little stale.
- Freezing: These cookies freeze great! Just throw them in a freezer-safe ziploc bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds for a cookie that tastes almost as fresh as if it had just come out of the oven!
- Additional mix-ins: 1 cup shredded, sweetened coconut, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 cup butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, cinnamon chips, chocolate chips or M&M's, dried cranberries, raisins, or even chopped dates.
