How To Make ranger cookies

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set the bowl aside for a few minutes.
  • 3
    Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix just until combined.
  • 4
    Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in several intervals and mix just until combined. Scrape down the bowl and beater as needed.
  • 5
    Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and stir in the oats, rice cereal, coconut, and chocolate chips.
  • 6
    Use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to drop the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 1 1/2-2 inches of space between the dough balls.
  • 7
    Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and set. Let the cookies cook for about 5 minutes before moving them to wire racks to cool.
