Best Ranger Cookies Recipe with Chocolate Chips

Posted on by Nathalie Brown

Ranger cookies are the go-to cookie recipe in our house. So much more tasty and hearty than a simple chocolate chip cookie, these complex, golden, little beauties are our family’s favorite.

My research about why they’re called Ranger cookies didn’t come up with more anything than speculations about maybe coming from Texas and being named after the Texas Rangers. Honestly, I really don’t care where they come from, they’re amazing.

Made with oats, crispy rice cereal (like Rice Krispies), walnuts, coconut, and of course, chocolate chips, these cookies are hearty and delicious. Some recipes I found omit one of the ingredients. I decided the more the merrier, so I adjusted the recipe so I could have it all.

You can substitute the margarine for butter but I’d recommend sticking with the margarine. It will make your cookie bigger and softer on the inside. Butter will flatten your cookies and make them more crispy. I guess you can try both and see which one you like better. (If you do please send me a dozen so I can try ’em out too)

Recipe Notes

This recipe makes a whole bunch. About 4 dozen. But only if you can keep the wild hooligans out of the dough. If you loose the battle with the hooligans you may be down to 3 dozen. It's an easy recipe to cut in half if needed.

    OOOH these are amazing. I have a similar recipe fro “cowboy” cookies but they don’t have the rice crispy cereal or coconut. I think I just might have converted!
