Ranger Cookies

Yields: 60 2- to 2 1/2- inch cookies

1 cup unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp salt

2 large eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup shredded coconut

3 cups crispy rice cereal or cornflakes

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Beat together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt until fluffy; add the eggs and beat until smooth. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until well blended. Stir in the oats, coconut, and cereal, mixing just until blended.

Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake for 10- 12 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
