Ranger Cookies (also called Cowboy Cookies) are packed with all of the goodness of traditional chocolate chip cookies with added chewiness from oats and cornflakes.
If you are passionate about cookies the way we are then you’d also love these Chocolate Mint Cookies, S’more Cookies, or chewy M&M Cookies.
My favorite thing about Ranger Cookies is the crunch of the outer layer, while remaining soft and chewy inside. The addition of oats and cornflakes is winning and adds a twist of flavor and texture that makes these even better than chocolate chip cookies.
How to Make Ranger Cookies:
1. Cream: Add butter and sugars to a large bowl and cream with mixers. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
2. Combine Dry ingredients: Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and oats and stir well to combine.
3. Fold in corn flakes and chocolate chips.
4. Bake: Spoon large tablespoons of the dough onto an un-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.
Possible Recipe Variations:
- Cereal substitutes: if you don’t have corn flakes, feel free to use rice krispies, lightly crushed Chex, or frosted flakes cereal.
- Coconut: add 3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut.
- Nuts: add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Make Ahead And Freezing Instructions:
To make ahead: Make the dough up to 1 day in advance and store in the fridge. Or make the cookies 1-2 days ahead of time.
To freeze: Freeze the dough or cookies (cooled completely) in a freeze safe container for up to 3 months. Allow a few extra minutes bake time if baking dough from frozen.
