“My two favorite things: crunchy and chewy and buttery, all in one.” – Truvy Jones, Steel Magnolias
I have no idea where these cookies came from. I think they were a home ec recipe. I don’t know why they’re called ranger cookies, but I do know they’re super easy and super delicious, even if they’re not the prettiest cookie in the world. Makes a dozen and a half or so.
