No-Bake Coconut Pecan Praline Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (toasted for extra flavor, optional)
- 1/4 cup butter (unsalted)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup milk (whole milk or coconut milk works well)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
-
Prepare the pecans:
- If you want toasted pecans, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Set them aside to cool.
-
Make the praline mixture:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the brown sugar, milk, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens slightly.
-
Combine the dry ingredients:
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded coconut, toasted pecans, vanilla extract, and quick oats. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
-
Form the cookies:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can use a spoon or cookie scoop for this.
- Gently press each mound down slightly to form a cookie shape.
-
Chill the cookies:
- Place the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set. The cookies will firm up as they chill.
-
Serve:
- Once the cookies have set, they’re ready to enjoy! Keep any leftovers stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
Enjoy:
