Ranger Cookies are packed with all of the goodness of a traditional chocolate chip cookies, with a special added crunch!
Has anyone else been CRAVING cookies lately? My mother-in-law shared this fun recipe with me a few months ago and I’m in love!
I’m not sure where the name “ranger” comes from–I’ll have to ask her about that. But after trying them fresh from the oven I was sold! Ranger cookies have all of the goodness a chocolate chip cookie has–but they’re kicked up a notch.
These have oats and corn flakes in them, which add a whole new crunch of deliciousness! Seriously, don’t doubt them until you try them! They’re soft on the inside, with a little crunch on the outside–totally addicting!

Cookies are my favorite treat by far. Never tried on with corn flakes but I happen to have a box in the cupboard that no one eats. So excited for a great recipe to use them in. Thanks!

Corn flakes are very good in them. I like to crush some of them and leave some uncrushed. Rice krispies are good also.

I remember starting to make these delicious cookies in the 60’s. I haven’t made them in quite some time so will have to do so.

I first found these cookies in a cookbook published in the late 60’s or early 70’s. The recipe I usually make doesn’t call for chocolate chips and is still delicious. As to the name, I’m not sure anyone really knows where it came from. Perhaps they were cookies that were good to take “out on the range!” (Especially without the chips as they may melt). We don’t have to know the origin of the name to enjoy this simple, yet delicious cookie!

Our local school system used to make them. They are delicious and nutritious. They also freeze well. I like trying different versions of this recipe.

My mom made this often growing up. She used Raisin Bran instead of Corn Flakes. I have continued to make them for my family and friends but have added butterscotch morsels as well as dark chocolate chips to the recipe. Just made some! Yummy!!!

One of my favorite cookies. Tried this recipe and it was delicious and the perfect crunch and taste.

I made these cookies for my kids back in the 1980’s as they are delicious and are good to take on a picnic. I like to add nuts, coconut and raisins instead of chocolate chips.
