Texas Ranger Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal, coconut, chocolate (duh!) haha and crispy rice cereal! These are delicious and have a nice chewy crunch.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup flour (5 ounces)
- 1 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup crisp rice cereal
- 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
-
Whisk the flour, oats, coconut, baking soda, baking powder and salt all together in a bowl then set aside.
-
In a stand mixer or large bowl beat the butter & sugars till creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix till smooth.
-
On low-speed, mix in the flour mixture until combined. Scrape the bowl as needed.
-
Stir in the rice cereal and chocolate chips just until combined.
-
Use a medium-sized cookie scoop and form the dough into balls. Place on prepared baking sheets and lightly press down on the cookie dough balls with the bottom of a glass cup sprayed with cooking spray (or you can use your hand).
-
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to brown. Store in an air tight container.
Recipe Notes
-You can use corn flakes (or even Frosted Flakes!) in place of the rice cereal.
-Also, any combo of chocolate chips can be used. I just really like to mix semi-sweet & milk chocolate. It's the best of both worlds :)
