You know those times that you are supposed to be somewhere and you men are late getting home.  You know you are all dolled up and ready to go.  And no sign of men anywhere.  And you don’t want to be the nagging wife and keep calling them.  I have two perfect solutions to the problem.  This works like a charm.  Neither method has ever failed me.  The first thing you can do to is to begin mopping your kitchen floor.  It brings the boys and their dirty shoes a runnin’.

The second method is much more fun and they actually like it better too.  It makes everybody “Happy, Happy, Happy”.  You begin making cookies.  Any kind of cookies.  The men can smell the dough over the stinky dairy.  You build the cookies and they will come.  It works every time.  Just don’t mop your floor before you make the cookies.

These cookies are easy to make and super fast if your men eat most of the dough.  They have the perfect amount of crispy edges and chewy centers.

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla and beat well.  Try to discourage your men from eating the dough at this point.  Or maybe let them have a spoon full and then they will quit eating it.

Sift dry ingredients in mix to combine.

  ranger chips

Add as many chocolate chips as possible.  Lets face it that’s what makes good cookies.

Add crispy rice cereal.

And coconut, it makes them chewy.  My men don’t like coconut but they still devour this.

ranger raw

Scoop cookies onto greased cookie sheet or parchment paper.  Bake them at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Here’s the printable.  Now go make them to celebrate the weekend and church at home.

Ranger Cookies

These Ranger Cookies are the perfect amount of chewy and crispy. They are quick to make and even faster if your men eat half of the dough.

    Amy, is there a difference between salt and Kosher salt? I’m a simple chef . . . .

      Kosher salt is really not much different than table salt. It was primarily used for curing meat. Some differences between Kosher salt and table salt are that Kosher salt has a coarser grain and has no iodine. It tends to be a little less salty. I just recently started using it in cookies and I like it. I also use it on my meats. I’m sure your mom has a better explanation.

    I don’t like coconut at all. What can I use instead of the coconut.

      Hi Virginia! You could substitute pretty much any dry type of ingredient, or a combintation of dry ingredients, for the coconut as long as it measured one cup. Some ideas are chopped walnuts, additional rice cereal, dried raisins, crushed cornflakes or anything like that. Experimenting with all the options sounds really fun! Happy baking!
