Wasn't sure of whether to post this in food or chat. This is a looooooong shot, but here goes:

My mum is from Nova Scotia and the church ladies used to put together booklets of favourite recipes. They had the most awesome "Ranger cookies" (kinda like Girl Guides I imagine) which were made with left over cereal (I think special K) and coconut - oh and peanuts. Oh my, the best cookies ever! Very similar, but better, than Second Cup's "everything cookie".

The booklet has been lost, mum's mind (at least as far as this cookie recipe is concerned) has been lost - and I would really like to find this recipe or another one like it. Best cookie Ev-ah!

try this link, see if that is what you are referring to. Or google "ranger cookies", there are several links, all a bit fifferent, but the same idea.

RANGER COOKIES
1 c. shortening or butter
1 c. white sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 tsp. salt
2 c. Rice Krispies, Wheaties or Corn Flakes
2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 c. oatmeal
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. coconut, chocolate chips or salted peanuts
Cream shortening or butter. Add sugars and eggs. Add vanilla and fold in flour. Add the remaining ingredients and drop from spoon. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Omg,they sound absolutely delicious.

Could you please send me over some.

Thanks

I'm from NS, and have never heard of them, and you lost me at coconut...yuck.

Hi It'sMargo
We had a cookie exchange at work. A colleague introduced us to these 'melt in your mouth',
delish cookies, very similar to what you may be looking for.

Lone Ranger Cookies
1 cup margarine
2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt (optional)
1 cup oatmeal
1 pkg pecans
2 cups Rice Krispies
1/2 pkg milk chocolate chips

Mix margarine and sugar. Add vanilla and eggs, mix well. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Mix well.
Place tbsp size blls on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
Makes 4 1/2 dozen cookies
Tips: Use small ice cream scoop, to form balls. Toast and cool pecans before adding mixture.

(side note: I prefer butter over margarine, but this time it works!) BonBakin'
