Coconut Praline cookies

 Ingredients


  • 2 cups of pecans
  • 2 cups of sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup of light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup or one stick of unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

  • In a sizeable saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and unsalted butter. Heat over medium-high temperature, ensuring continuous stirring until the mixture is thoroughly combined and has achieved a uniform consistency.
  • Allow the mixture to reach a boil and maintain this state for a duration of 3 minutes. Following this, remove the saucepan from the heating source.
  • Immediately introduce the vanilla extract and salt to the mixture, ensuring thorough integration.
  • Gradually introduce the shredded coconut and pecans to the saucepan. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture by stirring continuously for an additional 3-4 minutes. The mixture will begin to cool and thicken slightly during this time.
  • Once the desired consistency has been reached, proceed to portion out the mixture using a tablespoon or a small scoop. Deposit each portion onto baking sheets that have been previously lined with wax paper.
  • Allow the cookies to solidify at room temperature. For expedited setting, consider placing them in the freezer. Once solidified, the cookies are ready to be served.
