In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract.
Next, gradually add the baking soda, flour, salt. Mix together.
Add the old-fashioned oats. Mix together.
Add the raisins. Mix together.
Add the Rice Krispies. Mix together. Be careful not to smash up the Rice Krispies.
Drop by spoonful onto a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Do not smash the cookies down.
Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake at 340 degrees Fahrenheit for 13 minutes.
Do not overbake, or bake at a higher temperature. The cookies will be harder, not soft and chewy.
After baking, remove the cookies from the oven with the heat-resistant oven mitts. Let the cookies sit on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes. Then, use the cookie spatula to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack or wax paper to completely cool.
Repeat steps 7 and 8 for additional batches.
Notes
Other ingredients you can add to this ranger cookie recipe are:
1/2 cup to 1 cup of sweetened coconut flakes
1 cup of chopped walnuts
1 cup of chocolate chips
Instead of Rice Krispies, you can use a generic brand of any crispy rice cereal. They taste exactly the same in these ranger cookies, and they cost less.
