Description
These Southern-style no-bake cookies are sweet, nutty, and full of rich praline flavor. A quick treat made with coconut, pecans, and brown sugar—no oven required!
Ingredients
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecans
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and butter. Stir continuously over medium heat until fully blended.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let boil for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Gradually fold in shredded coconut and pecans. Stir for 3–4 minutes until thickened slightly.
Drop spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon) of the mixture onto wax paper-lined baking sheets.
Let cookies cool at room temperature or place in the freezer until set.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Use chopped pecans for better distribution.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra depth.
Let them cool completely before removing from wax paper.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 4–5 days.
