EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you bake cookies often, having several cookie sheets is convenient. As one sheet of cookies is baking, you can get another one ready to go. Let the cookie sheets cool a few minutes between bakings, or the cookie dough will start to spread before it’s placed in the oven.

Each cookie offers 1/2 serving of whole grain.

I made these cookies replacing the Wheaties with the crumbs from a bag of Frosted Mini Wheat cereal. They were delicious.....

I haven't made these "Ranger Cookies" but there is also a Ranger Cookie Recipe in the large Betty Crocker cookbook. You use coconut, rolled oats and raisins. My son is an avid high adventure hiker - means he needs to pack very light for extended trips. Anyway he and my husband always request Ranger Cookies. They are hardy and are great for energy on the go. I will have to try this version but don't know that I will be able to call them ranger cookies. Feel free to message for the recipe.

This is the third week in a row that I'm trying a new ranger cookie recipe and this is the winner!! I used rice krispie cereal in place of the wheat flakes, white flour for whole wheat, light brown sugar (because I ran out of dark brown) and walnuts for peanuts (again because I didn't have any!) I'm glad to hear they pack and travel over seas well - thanks for sharing that perkup808! I am going to make them for a fourth week and send to my brother who is serving in Afganistan (after I restock my kitchen!!)
