Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Combine Ingredients: 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.
- Add Pecans and Coconut: 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, shaping them into cookies.
- Cool and Set: Let the cookies cool at room temperature until set, about 20-30 minutes. You can also place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure you stir constantly while boiling to prevent the mixture from burning.
- For a firmer cookie, allow them to cool longer or refrigerate after shaping.
