Bonnie Donaldson's Ranger Cookies

Dec 18, 2006 · Modified: May 28, 2021 by Anna · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

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.
