Park Ranger Cookies

"Thick, soft, and chewy, this is truly the best kitchen sink cookie recipe (aka “park ranger cookies”)! With an oatmeal cookie base, the treats get their salty and sweet flavor from chocolate chips, raisins, pecans, Corn Flakes, coconut, and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt. I originally discovered these “everything but the kitchen sink cookies” when I purchased a package of homemade “park ranger cookies” from the local Corner Store in Sperryville, Virginia. I’m assuming that they’re called “park ranger cookies” because of our close proximity to Shenandoah National Park. In fact, a lot of hikers come down from the Appalachian Trail to buy provisions in that little shop. After one bite, I knew that I’d need to recreate the decadent treats in my own kitchen — and it wasn’t too hard. This kitchen sink cookie recipe is really just a “glammed up” version of our popular oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. As the name suggests, they basically include “everything but the kitchen sink” — oats, chocolate chips, raisins, pecans, Corn Flakes, coconut, and a hint of cinnamon. They’re salty, sweet, thick, soft, chewy, and unbelievably good!"
