- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
- Prepare the cookie sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cook the praline base: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
- Add the vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Mix in the coconut and pecans: Stir in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans until fully incorporated.
- Add the oats: Gradually mix in the quick oats, stirring until the mixture is well combined and thick.
- Form the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spoon to shape them into rounds or leave them as mounds.
- Chill to set: Place the cookies in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm and set.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, enjoy these delicious no-bake cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- Make sure to use quick oats for the best texture. Old-fashioned oats may not set properly in this no-bake recipe.
- You can substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds if desired.
- These cookies will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
