Ranger Cookies are sure to become a family favourite and a staple in the cookie jar.
A Taste from Years Ago
Though the name may not be familiar the taste and texture of these cookies will definitely bring back memories of cookies from your childhood.
My grandfather would always have a batch of cookies in the cupboard. He would add dried fruit which added another incredible layer of bite to the cookies. They were spectacular!
Rich butter combined with the crispy cereal and the chewiness from the oats give these cookies a fabulous texture. They really are the perfect bite!
