No-Bake Coconut Pecan Praline Cookies

No-Bake Coconut Pecan Praline Cookies

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • Optional: Chocolate chips or drizzle

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
  2. Continue boiling for 2-3 minutes without stirring to reach the soft-ball stage (235°F to 240°F on a candy thermometer).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and toasted pecans until well combined.
  4. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or set aside for drizzling later.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto waxed paper or a silicone baking mat.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until firm.
  7. If using chocolate drizzle, melt chocolate chips and drizzle over the cooled cookies before serving.

Notes

  • Toast pecans lightly in a dry skillet to enhance their flavor before adding them to the mixture.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar reaches the correct temperature for perfect cookie texture.
