Description

These No-Bake Coconut Pecan Praline Cookies are a deliciously rich and creamy treat combining the sweetness of brown and granulated sugar with crunchy pecans and shredded coconut. Ready in just 30 minutes without the need for baking, they are perfect for a quick, indulgent dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Butter and Sugars

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed

Dairy and Flavorings

  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Nuts and Coconut

  • 1 ½ cups pecans, chopped
  • 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  2. Boil the Mixture: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it cook for 3 minutes, continuously stirring to prevent burning. The mixture will thicken slightly.
  3. Add Pecans, Coconut, and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping them into cookie-sized portions.
  5. Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up. To speed up setting, place the cookies in the refrigerator.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the cookies are firm, serve them immediately or store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • To quickly cool the cookies, place them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the pecans before adding to the mixture.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the amount of brown sugar by 2 tablespoons.
  • These cookies are naturally gluten free but ensure your shredded coconut is processed in a gluten-free facility if required.
