Ranger Cookies

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups corn flakes
  • 2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation:

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat until well blended and smooth. Sift flour, soda, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl. Add corn flakes and oatmeal and sifted dry ingredients to the creamed mixture; stir in coconut and vanilla. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet and bake at 350° for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Makes about 6 to 7 dozen ranger cookies with oats and coconut.

I think I will try substituting Splenda for the white sugar and possibly for some of the brown.
