Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 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 Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and quick oats. Set aside.
- Cook the Sugar Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a gentle boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until sugar dissolves completely.
- Combine with Dry Ingredients: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Shape the Cookies: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop portions onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping them into cookies.
- Set the Cookies: Let cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for faster setting.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the pecans before adding.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate for added sweetness.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for two weeks.
- To make dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use sweetened condensed coconut milk.
