Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped pecans
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and butter. Stir until smooth and melted.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
- Add chopped pecans and shredded coconut; stir until fully combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheets.
- Let cookies set at room temperature for 1–2 hours, or chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for quicker results.
Notes
- Use dark brown sugar for a deeper, molasses-rich flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute coconut milk for evaporated milk and use dairy-free butter.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate once set for a fancy finish.
- Swap pecans with other nuts or even crispy rice cereal for a fun twist.
