Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Mixture
- 2½ cups sugar
- ½ cup evaporated milk
- ½ cup corn syrup
- ½ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–2½ cups chopped pecans
- 2½ cups grated coconut
Instructions
- Prepare Nuts and Coconut: Set aside the chopped pecans, grated coconut, and vanilla extract, ready for mixing later.
- Boil Sugar Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and butter. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and let it boil continuously for 3 minutes to develop the praline base.
- Combine Ingredients: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the pecans, coconut, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly for about 4 minutes until everything is well incorporated.
- Spoon onto Wax Paper: Using a spoon, scoop portions of the mixture onto wax paper, forming individual cookies. Allow them to cool and harden completely.
- Serve: Once the cookies have set and are firm, carefully peel them off the wax paper and enjoy the sweet, nutty praline treats.
Notes
- Use fresh grated coconut for best texture and flavor, or unsweetened desiccated coconut as an alternative.
- Ensure the sugar mixture boils for the full 3 minutes to achieve the right praline consistency.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before removing to prevent sticking and breaking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and chewiness.
- Adjust pecan quantity slightly to preference for nuttiness.
