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. They 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!

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.
