Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
2 cups quick oats
Instructions:
Prepare the Base:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
Remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and oats. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated.
Shape the Cookies:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Drop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a spoon to shape each cookie into a round mound. Press down slightly to form a thick, praline-like texture.
Chill the Cookies:
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 1 hour, or until they are firm and set.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the cookies are set, enjoy them as a delicious and chewy treat!
