Ranger Cookies I

very good, i added a handful of chocolate chips and dried cranberries and chopped nuts.. also changed the one cup of shorting to half cup butter and half cup shorting. i got lots of compliments on cookies..

I made these for my brother as he has been asking for them for about 4 years. He loved them! I had resisted because I can’t stand coconut but to see him happy is the best!

I took the suggestion of previous reviewers about reducing the flour to 2 cups, but that was still too much flour and the batter was too dry to hold together. I sifted the dry ingredients together, measured all ingredients carefully and followed the directions as stated, other than using only 2 cups of flour. Won’t be making these again..

No changes. Great receipe. Loved it. Made lots of delicious cookies. Will definitely make again

These cookies were too dry and crumbly. I was hoping for a chewy cookie.

Cookies came out great!! Very pleased…

I don’t make ranger cookies very often, so when I couldn’t find the recipe I use when I do make them, I used this one. I generally have good luck with the recipes from this site. I was in a hurry, picked this one based on the reviews without reading them. Why would anyone give a recipe that they know has a typo, a five star rating. I wasted the ingredients I used on this recipe!! Well, not a total loss, the dogs love them! If you make these drop one cup of flour from your recipe.

I made these cookies today. Cookie dough was very dry, then I looked up my old recipe in my cook book and it only called for 2 cups of flour and less coconut and crisp rice. I rate them a 2. Hum too bad I didn’t read the other reviews first. I also added milk.

I left out the 1 cup of flour like others said, and we loved them!!

I guess it’s my fault for not reading the comments. Terribly dry and even after attempting to salvage, I was still disappointed.

A classic days of old staple cookie! I added one extra egg and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Add grated cheese and we call them Body Builder cookies, great for breakfasts on the go!

I should have read the reviews first. Way too much flour for the wet ingredients. Will try again with less flour.

I My wife and I have treaked the recipe into a wonderful cookie. We simply omit the oats and add a bag of Heath toffee bits instead of dates. Every one that has tasted them beg for more.

Even after reading reviews and cutting flour back to two cups the cookies were pretty dry and hard. I will try this again and add another egg, an extra 1/2 cup of shortening and maybe some half and half and cut cooking time by a minute or two.

I make these every year around Christmas time. They are my husbands favorite sweet treat!! I do cut the sugar in half and I add an extra egg. I delete a cup of flour and add 1 cup of 1 percent milk. The coconut gives the cookie plenty of sweet, the extra egg gives the recipe an added chewy factor that it had lacked in years prior and the milk gives it a creamy appeal. I also add 1 tsp. of cinnamon and I found this to be an added bonus. Let me just say I end up making this in triplicate due to the fact that they do NOT last long here if I don’t!!

I marked it four stars because the measurement for the flour is wrong. It definitely should be two cups of flour. Otherwise it’s a really good recipe.

Way too many dry ingredients. I went with it for the first cookie sheet and started to 2nd guess the recipe. After reading other reviews, I went back and added a bit of milk to the rest of the batter. That helped. If I make them again, I will cut out a cup of flour and use half butter instead of all shortening.

I was not impressed with this recipe. I followed it to the T And it came out so dry that the ingredients wouldn’t hold together. I had to add about 3/4 stick of butter and another egg. After that it finally held together and the ending result was good. I would advise adding maybe a cup less of flour or just finding another recipe.

I just tried these, and thankfully read the reviews, using only 2 cups flour. With the ingredient list all mixed up, I ended up forgetting to add the brown sugar. Still, the batter was so dry, I couldn’t get it to stick enough to make a decent cookie (I pressed the dough into a tablespoon then flattened a bit with a glass). I may try them again, maybe adding an extra egg or some milk as another reviewer suggested, or even skip the rice cereal.

Recipe is incorrect. It should be 2 cups of flour not 3.

I read the reviews on this before starting and went with two cups of flour – even reduced to that, I found the dough to be very stiff. I think next time I’ll further reduce it to 1.5 cups. I added butterscotch chips and thought they were the bees knees. My mum thought they weren’t sweet enough but scarfing kids say otherwise. lol
