Here's a great cookie recipe - I've never known anyone who didn't like 'em... simple, quick, and they're gone in no time at all. I've packed these in my saddle bags more times than I can remember.

RANGER COOKIES

1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla (be generous)
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup oatmeal (quick variety)
1/2 cup Rice Krispies
1/2 cup coconut

Blend first five ingredients together until creamy. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to sugar & egg mixture. Fold in remaining ingredients in order listed.

Drop by spoonful onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until done.
