I know the title seems like a stretch, but seriously, these are The World’s Best Cookie. Period.
My family calls them Gorp Cookies but I’ve also heard them called Buffalo Chip Cookies and Ranger Cookies.
First, mix up the ingredients. This is a really easy recipe where you just dump it into the mixer as you go, no separate bowl required.
Bean loved pouring all the big ingredients in at the end and mixing it all together with a spatula. He needed a little help because with all the “fun stuff” (Corn Chex, oatmeal, coconut, and M&M’s) in there it gets a little harder to stir.
Bake. Devour. I dare you to stop after eating one. Seriously.
Ingredients
- 1/2 c butter-flavored shortening
- 1/2 c butter softened
- 1 c brown sugar
- 1 c white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 c all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 c Cornflakes (or Corn Chex)
- 1 c oatmeal
- 1/2 c coconut
- 1 c M&M's
Servings: dozen
Instructions
- You'll want a mixer for this one. Cream together the shortening, butter, both sugars, vanilla, and eggs. Then add the other ingredients.
- When you get to the cornflakes, you probably want to switch to hand-stirring the rest just to avoid over-crunching the "fun stuff."
- Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Immediately remove the cookies from the sheet when they come out if you want gooey cookies. Let them rest a minute or a two if you like them crispier. Enjoy!
