TEXAS RANGER COOKIES WITH CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Melt butter and allow to cool to room temperature
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter and sugars. Mix until combined. Add eggs one at a time and mix until they are incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
• Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg and sugar mixture
• Stir in coconut, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and cereal by hand until evenly distributed.
• At this point, you can either scoop into balls and place on a baking sheet. The baking sheet needs to fit in the refrigerator. OR, you can refrigerate the dough in the bowl and scoop out after the dough is chilled.
• After the dough is chilled, bake cookies at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until the desired level of doneness. I like crispy edges with soft centers. For 1.5 tablespoons of dough, I cook for 12 minutes.
