Where will your holidays take you? With these old-fashioned ranger cookies packed with oats, Wheaties™ cereal and peanuts, you can fuel any trip with delicious bites. Baked until they are soft in the middle, they have a delightful light and nutty crunch. While we love these cookies for their flavor, we also love that each cookie has ½ serving of whole grain from the oats and whole grain flour! This ranger cookie recipe makes a large batch, about 54, so there will be plenty of these whole-grain, energy-packed cookies to give everyone that extra boost on your next hike! Or, enjoy these at home instead and freeze the leftovers to save the extras for later.
