Today is the last day of cookie week. We are ending with one of my favorite cookies while growing up, Ranger Cookies.  If you have never had a ranger cookie before, you must try one!

These ranger cookies include oats, coconut, and the best part – rice krispies.  They give this cookie little pockets of crunch.  I do think they are best if you eat them no later than the day after you make them.

I made them using half shortening and half butter and they were award- winning, nice and chewy. They don’t come out as good when margarine is substituted for the butter. You may save a bit of money but you lose on the quality.

I would like to try this recipe with putting the coconut in a food processor to make coconut finer and then add about a cup of pecans to chop them up. I think I would also half the shortening and add butter for the other half.

I love ranger cookies! My grandma made these when I was a kid and I still make them. Her receipe called for butter and cornflakes, instead of rice crispies cereal.

I LOVE ranger cookies sooo much. thanks for this recipe. I will probably use margarine because thats what my mom buys (no judgement here!). I like them with ground up M&Ms in them.

These are my favorites–except I add pecans too. Also I have used butter.

Do they have to be made with shortening? It is so unappetizing. I would much prefer to bake with butter.
