Ingredients

  • Pecans: 2 cups
  • Sweetened Shredded Coconut: 2 cups
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 1/2 cups
  • Brown Sugar: 1 cup
  • Evaporated Milk: 1/2 cup
  • Light Corn Syrup: 1/2 cup
  • Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup equivalent to one stick
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  • Sugar Mixture Preparation: In a substantial saucepan, amalgamate the granulated sugar, brown sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, and unsalted butter. Apply medium-high heat, stirring persistently to ensure complete integration and a consistent mixture.
  • Boiling Process: Once boiling is achieved, sustain this condition for a period of 3 minutes, ensuring to monitor the time precisely.
  • Flavor Addition: Subsequent to the boiling phase, remove the saucepan from the heat source. Immediately incorporate the vanilla extract and salt, blending thoroughly for even distribution.
  • Inclusion of Coconut and Pecans: Sequentially introduce the sweetened shredded coconut and pecans to the mixture. Continuously stir the blend for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, facilitating an even distribution of the ingredients. During this interval, the mixture will commence cooling and exhibit slight thickening.
  • Formation of Cookies: Utilize a tablespoon or a small scoop to partition the mixture. Carefully place each portion onto baking sheets pre-lined with wax paper, maintaining uniformity in size and shape.
  • Setting Phase: Permit the cookies to solidify at room temperature. To expedite the setting process, placement in the freezer may be considered. Once the cookies have achieved a solidified state, they are prepared for consumption.
