Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup Pecans Adds crunch and nuttiness; substitute with walnuts or almonds for variety.
  • 1 can Evaporated Milk Provides moisture and creaminess; use sweetened condensed milk for a richer flavor.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Contributes a deep caramel-like sweetness; can substitute with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic option.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Balances sweetness; omit for a less sweet cookie.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; use almond extract for a different twist.
  • 2 cups Shredded Coconut Offers texture and tropical flavor; swap with chopped dried fruit for variation.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Flaked Sea Salt Enhances sweetness; use regular salt in a pinch, reducing the amount accordingly.
  • 1/2 cup Corn Syrup Helps bind ingredients and adds sweetness; substitute with maple syrup or honey if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Brings richness to the cookies; use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, add brown sugar, granulated sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and unsalted butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a gentle boil. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Allow the boiling mixture to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it reaches the softball stage, around 235°F.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped pecans, vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and flaked sea salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared surface and shape them as desired.
  5. Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until they set firm.
