Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) 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, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

2. Toast the Pecans (Optional)

  1. In a dry skillet, toast the pecans over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Make the Caramel Base

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add the Pecans and Coconut

  1. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  2. Fold in the pecans and shredded coconut until evenly coated in the caramel mixture.

5. Form the Cookies

  1. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Flatten slightly if desired for a more cookie-like shape.

6. Cool and Set

  1. Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.

7. Serve

  1. Once set, serve and enjoy. These cookies are perfect for gifting, snacking, or as a dessert for any occasion!

Notes

  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
  • Add-Ins: Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the caramel for a warm, spiced flavor.
  • Make It Dairy-Free: Use vegan butter and coconut cream as substitutes for butter and heavy cream.
