Yesterday would have been Woo-Woo’s 99th birthday so earlier this week I baked a batch of Ranger Cookies. As I’ve said before, her recipes are always my favorites and this one is no exception. For any family gathering or holiday, she’d bake dozens of cookies (usually ranger cookies and sugar cookies) the day or two before and store them in big cookie tins so there was always something sweet on hand to offer guests and grandchildren!
Ranger cookies were always some of my favorites because they’re both salty and sweet. And bonus: the dough is delicious!
