Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a heavy saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and salt.
  3. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Let boil for about 3 minutes, stirring, until glossy and slightly thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut until fully combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto prepared baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop.
  7. Let cool and set at room temperature for 30–45 minutes, until firm.

Notes

  • Toast pecans and coconut beforehand for extra depth of flavor.
  • Add cinnamon or a splash of bourbon for a richer praline taste.
  • Stir in mini chocolate chips for a chocolate variation (after cooling slightly).
  • Use unsweetened coconut if you prefer a less sweet cookie.
  • If cookies don’t set, the mixture likely didn’t boil long enough.
