Bonnie Donaldson’s Ranger Cookies is an old recipe from Gourmet. It originally appeared in their Letters to Gourmet section. What’s interesting about Bonnie’s Rangers is they are made with Special K rather than Rice Krispies. At least I though that was interesting 15 years ago when I found this recipe.
