Ranger Cookies--This was given to me by my mother-in-law, Mary :) These have become one of our absolute favorites. The cornflake crumbs make these nice and crunchy. I don't make them often though unless I'm giving them away haha!

Ranger Cookies

1 cup butter

1 cup white sugar

1 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 cup vegetable oil

3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1 t. baking soda

1 t. salt

1 t. vanilla

1 cup oats

1 cup crushed Cornflakes cereal

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Cream together butter and sugars until fluffy and light. Add egg, mixing well. Then add vegetable oil, mixing well. Add flour, soda, salt and vanilla. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well and form into walnut-sized balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork dipped into water. Bake at 325 degrees for 12 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from pan. For extra sweetness, sprinkle warm cookies with granulated sugar. Makes 8 dozen.

Cherry Pecan Cookies-- This is a recipe passed down to me from my late Mamaw. We used to always have these on Christmas Eve as a family. These are like a shortbread cookie. The only time consuming thing is chopping the cherries and waiting for them to freeze. I buy pre-chopped pecans.
