1952 City School Flying Saucers (Ranger Cookies) image

Recipe from Los Angeles Unified School District. Served in school cafeterias. After making these the first time, I think some dried cranberries would be good in them.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c butter, room temperature
1 c granulated sugar
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
