Ranger Cookies

another oldie but a goodie from Auntie Harriet:)

INGREDIENTS
1 ½ cups flour, sifted
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup canola oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar (preferable dark brown sugar)
¼ cup smooth cashew butter
½ cup plus 2 TBSP soy milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups of flakes, slightly crushed by hand (whatever are your favorites such as corn flakes, kamut flakes, spelt flakes, etc!)
½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350 F
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper

DIRECTIONS
Sift the flour into a small bowl.  Add the powder, salt and soda and whisk together.  Set aside.

In a large bowl blend the oil and sugars together on low speed.  When smooth, add the cashew butter, soymilk, and vanilla and blend until thoroughly combined.  Then add in the flour mixture and again mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.  Then mix in the oats, flakes and coconut and mix until just combined.

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto prepared cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.  (Using a cookie dough scooper really helps!)  Bake for about 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven and let sit on sheets for 1-2 minutes.  Then remove cookies and let cool on racks.

Yields about 4 ½ dozen
Can be kept longer air tight in the freezer
