Non Pressure Cooker
◦
I found a meme a few months ago that’s now a favorite phrase around our household (usually having to do with chips and guac). It’s definitely applicable to these cookies as well…
“How do I stop eating Ranchhouse Cookies? Do they run out or do I die or what?”
I’m wondering if many of you know these cookies by another name or if the whole oatmeal, coconut, buttery, crispy edged, soft chewy center deliciousness is a new thing for you! I can’t even explain the deliciousness to you at this present moment – it’s a “you had to be there” moment or in this case, it’s a “you have to make these right now” kind of thing. There’s really no reason not to make them – it’s Thursday, which means tomorrow is Friday, which means you ABSOLUTELY NEED a cookie jar full of these yummies ready for the weekend.
We made these growing up and it took me a while to finally admit I liked them because the coconut was throwing me off. I don’t know what it is with being young and not liking coconut, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a little kiddo who likes it. They’ll love these though – just leave the coconut part out of the title and they’ll be begging for more!
Everybody needs a go-to cookie recipe for times when you have friends coming over and want to greet them with some just out of the oven warm and chewy cookies. I have a great idea – THIS can be your go-to recipe! It’ll change your life.
Glad we’ve decided that.
Now all that’s missing is your glass of milk. Cheers!
