RANGER cookies!!

I had to emphasize on the word ranger for the title.  Red and all other military folk will appreciate and understand it.  Anyway.  It's almost midnight. I could be in bed reading or better yet sleeping, but, I've been craving something sweet all day.  So, I decided to go on the healthier side of the cookie department and make one of the multiple variations of the ranger cookie. 

2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup of butter, melted
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 1/2 cups of oats
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup of chopped nuts (I used pecans because its all I had...must go grocery shopping)
1/4 cup of chocolate chips
1/4 cup of flax seed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda

Mix all ingredients together in ONE bowl (YAY for one bowl!!) and I like to sort of shape my cookies just so they hold together a little better in the oven.  Pop them in the oven at 375 for about ten minutes and there you have it! Chewy, oatmeal-ly, sweet ranger cookies that aren't too bad for you!

I'm off to have a warm cookie and a glass of milk before bed.  Enjoy, kids!
