Ranger Cookie

A Ranger cookie is a large, hearty cookie that is a fairly recent addition to the American repertoire, appearing sometime in the latter half of the twentieth century. Most ranger cookies contain rolled oats and coconut, and some also include pecans and crushed corn flakes. Despite the name, the cookies don't seem to be connected with the Texas Rangers or Texas, or with any particular part of the country, for that matter.

It can also refer to an improvised confection created through the use of MRE condiments.[1][2] The cookie is created by baking sugar and coffee creamer over a heat source. Depending on the MRE variant, other ingredients can be added to the cookie.[3]
