Method
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
- Make the Praline Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and heavy cream together. Stir frequently until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Add the Coconut and Oats: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and quick oats until well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
- Shape the Cookies: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming cookie shapes. Work quickly, as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.
- Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm and set.
- Serve: Once the cookies have hardened, enjoy immediately or store them in an airtight container for later!
Notes
Quick Oats vs. Old-Fashioned Oats: Quick oats work best for this recipe as they absorb the liquid more evenly.
Add Nuts: For extra crunch, stir in ½ cup of chopped pecans or almonds.
Flavor Variations: Add a pinch of cinnamon or drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for a twist.
