"Betty Crocker came up with Ranger Cookies, which are really just Cowboy Cookies. I love those, also. I just fondly remember my older sister, who got that edition as a graduation gift, cooking these when I was in high school and I loved eating these. I couldn't get ahold of a Betty Crocker cookbook of that year, but I found a blog post about it! Thank you, CookiesonFriday!!! She always used the sugared, flaked, coconut in hers. Maybe that's not what is meant, but it sure tasted great. NOTE: The recipe calls for shortening, which I haven't used in years. I always substitute that with something else in old recipes. I wrote this out as the original."

Delicious cookies and I knew they would be based upon the ingredient list. The only change I made was to use less coconut. Yummy recipe for sure. : )

Oh, boy - these are GREAT! Followed exactly as written. I love cookies made with shortening because they always come out so crispy, but not hard. These were no exception. DH said they tasted "buttery", but I didn't tell him the truth, cuz he's a "butter" guy. LOL. I loved the crunch of the rice crispies. Oh, and because it's just the two of us and we don't eat dry cereal, I bought one of those little single serve bowls at the grocery. All of $1.09, and I didn't have to waste a full box of cereal. A win! One thing - the directions say to drop by the teaspoon, but I used a cookie scoop that holds about a tablespoon. The cookies turned out about 2 1/4 inches in diameter. It made about 30 cookies. WAIGEN, these are "Best of" material...
