Ranger Cookies

These are a brilliant cookie - mythically named as an all-around food that you would want to eat as a Ranger, out in the forest with nothing but a swiss army knife and a tin of these to eat.  Lots of yummy crunch on the outside and moistness inside with coconut, raisins and butter.

OK, that part about the forest may be a bit far-fetched, but with just a tin of these and I will brave any classroom!
