No-Bake Coconut Pecan Praline Cookies
Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chopped pecans
1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
1/8 teaspoon salt
Pecan halves, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and salt. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
Continue boiling for about 3 minutes, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut. Mix well until evenly coated.
Quickly drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press a pecan half on top of each cookie, if desired.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature until set, about 30–40 minutes.
