Description

These no-bake praline cookies combine buttery pecans, sweet coconut, and a rich caramel base into chewy, nutty clusters. No oven required—just mix, drop, and let them set for a perfect holiday or anytime treat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar

  • ½ cup unsalted butter

  • ½ cup evaporated milk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

  • 2 cups chopped pecans

  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare baking surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.

2️⃣ Cook praline base: In a saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk over medium heat. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Boil for 3–4 minutes, stirring often, until thickened slightly.

3️⃣ Mix in flavor and texture: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, coconut, pecans, and a pinch of salt. Mix quickly to combine.

4️⃣ Scoop cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared sheet.

5️⃣ Let set: Allow cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30–45 minutes until firm.

Notes

  • For extra chewiness, mix in a few marshmallows or mini white chocolate chips while still warm.

  • Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 1 week.

  • Toast pecans first for even more flavor.
