Instructions

Melt Butter and Combine Sugars: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Boil Mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil, and let it boil for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The mixture will thicken slightly and become caramel-like.
Add Pecans, Coconut, and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the chopped pecans, sweetened shredded coconut, and vanilla extract until everything is evenly coated with the caramel mixture.
Form Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping each into cookie-sized portions.
Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until set. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until firm.
Serve and Store: Once the cookies have set, they are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.

Notes

Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Make sure to stir constantly during boiling to avoid burning the sugar mixture.
For a quicker set, refrigerate the cookies after placing them on the baking sheet.
These cookies are best enjoyed within a week when stored properly.
You can substitute pecans with walnuts if preferred.
