These no-bake cookies are rich, chewy, and delightfully nutty, combining coconut, pecans, and sweet praline goodness.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Shredded Coconut
  • 1 cup Pecans, chopped
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 cups Quick Oats

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to bubble—this should take about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using), combining thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Quickly fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans, mixing well until evenly distributed.

  5. 5

    Add the quick oats and stir until the mixture is thick and everything is well coated.

  6. 6

    Working quickly, drop heaping spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten or shape them slightly with the back of your spoon.

  7. 7

    Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.

  8. 8

    Once firm, enjoy immediately or transfer to an airtight container for storage.
