Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together:

1 cup shortening

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Fold in:

2 cups cornflakes

1 cup shredded coconut

1 cup chopped nuts

2 cups old-fashioned oats

1 cup baking chips of your choice

Make sure all mix-ins are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each mound about 1–2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.

Bake the cookies for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye to avoid over-baking.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy the chewy, crispy goodness of these homemade Ranger Cookies.
