These golden brown cookies are crispy on the outside and cake-like on the inside. Their tasty blend of oats, rice cereal, coconut and brown sugar have made them a favorite with our family. You won't be able to eat just one—Mary Lou Boyce,Wilmington, Delaware

Would only give this recipe a 3star because I agree w/ a few others that this recipe is too dry. I changed a few things and made the dough more workable. I added 1 extra egg for a total of 3 eggs. Then I pared down the Oats to 1 Cup and the Rice Cereal to 1 Cup. I was able to use my cookie scoop and the cookies flattened out just as they are supposed to when they baked. Yielding a 5 Star recipe!

These cookies are great, and low-calorie, too (as long as you don't eat 8 of them like me)!

Just finished making these. I used my little scoop and found they didn't flatten much, so the next sheet full I just pressed them down with my finger a little and they turned out very nice. Seem too soft at 9 min. but I let them cool a few minutes before removing and they did fine. Will for sure make them again.

My mother used to make these, but since she was allergic to rice & barley, she used corn flakes; really crunchy & delicious!

I got this recipe yesterday and tried it last night, and they were delicious, but my dough was very dry. Had to squeeze them into balls....any suggestions, I followed the recipe as given above, but couldn't use tablespoons to drop them it was to dry...

I love this cute name "Ranger" cookies! My Mom makes these exact cookies and adds chocolate chips, we call them "Almond Joy" Cookies because that's what they taste like! Yum!

This has been a family favorite since the late 40's except we use cornflakes instead of the rice krispies. This probably the first recipe I saved to my recipe collection.

I don't like coconut either but these have become my favorite. The coconut flavor is very subtle but makes the cookie very moist. You should try it just once to see the results. Kathy
