- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
- Melt the Butter:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Stir well to combine. - Boil the Mixture:
Bring the mixture to a boil, and let it boil for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture should thicken slightly as it boils. - Add Pecans, Coconut, and Vanilla:
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is evenly coated. - Shape the Cookies:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping them into cookie-sized portions. - Cool and Set:
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes until they are set. For quicker cooling, you can place them in the refrigerator for faster setting. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once set, serve the cookies and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- You can refrigerate the cookies to speed up the setting process.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe.
