Waaayyyyy back, when our twin daughters were in preschool, a friend shared this recipe for Ranger Cookies.  Now that Ella will be heading off to kindergarten, we made a batch together today.  These chewy and crunchy cookies passed her finicky taste-buds even over the fresh bakery cookies from the grocery store.Ranger Cookies
PRINT RECIPE

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup Wheaties cereal
1/2 cup coconut


Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.

Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the oats, cereal and coconut.

Drop by spoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

NOTES:

• Sometimes I toss in a small handful of chocolate chips, maybe 1/4 cup.
• I substituted Raisin Bran Crunch for the Wheaties this time and it was great.
• Recipe can be doubled
