Ingredients List

For the Praline Cookies:

  • 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut, sweetened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Praline Coating:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, heavy cream, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
  2. Mix in the Pecans and Coconut:

  3. Shape the Cookies:
    • Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon to gently press and shape the cookies into rounds.
  4. Let the Cookies Set:
    • Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm. If desired, place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Once set, transfer the cookies to a serving plate. Enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container for later.
