My husband can't boil water, but he can make these cookies. Go figure. They are really good. My kids and husband love to eat the raw dough, so I am lucky to get half it baked. So when I say it makes 24 cookies, maybe.

Tips for Making Harvey's Ranger Cookies

  • Use chilled dough: This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help prevent the dough from curdling.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying:

Conclusion

Harvey's Ranger Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With their chewy texture and sweet, nutty flavor, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
