Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Sugars and Salt
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup quick oats
Instructions
- Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter completely to create a smooth base for the praline mixture.
- Combine sugars and cream: Stir in the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, and salt. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil while stirring frequently to dissolve sugars and blend flavors. Allow boiling for 1 minute to achieve the right caramelization.
- Add vanilla extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the sweetness and aroma.
- Mix in dry ingredients: Add the sweetened shredded coconut and quick oats to the hot mixture. Stir thoroughly until all components are evenly coated and combined, forming a sticky batter.
- Form cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape and space the cookies as desired for even cooling.
- Set the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until firm. For faster setting, refrigerate the cookies for about 15 minutes until they harden.
- Serve or store: Once firm, enjoy the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use quick oats for the best texture; rolled oats may make the cookies chewier.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the granulated sugar to 1/3 cup.
- These cookies keep well at room temperature for up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container.
- To make the cookies more festive, sprinkle shredded coconut on top right after forming them.
