Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups Shredded Coconut
  • 1 cup Pecans, chopped
  • 2 cups Quick Oats
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (optional)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 0.5 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking surface: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and allow the cookies to set properly.
  2. Melt butter and mix sugars: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk, continuously mixing until the mixture starts to bubble, about 3 minutes, ensuring the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens.
  3. Add flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon if using, blending well to infuse the mixture with warm, aromatic notes.
  4. Combine coconut and pecans: Quickly fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pecans, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute the nuts and coconut through the buttery mixture.
  5. Incorporate oats: Add the quick oats, stirring until the mixture is thick and the oats are fully coated, forming the base of the cookie structure.
  6. Form cookies: Working swiftly, drop heaping spoonfuls (approximately 2 tablespoons) of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten or shape each dollop with the back of your spoon to desired thickness.
  7. Set cookies: Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for at least 20 minutes to firm up. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
  8. Serve or store: Once firm, enjoy the cookies immediately or transfer them to an airtight container to maintain freshness for several days.

Notes

  • Using quick oats provides the best texture, but old-fashioned oats can be substituted with slightly altered texture.
  • You can toast the shredded coconut and pecans lightly before mixing for enhanced flavor.
  • Cookies keep well stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
  • Optional cinnamon adds a warm spice note but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Work quickly once the oats are added, as the mixture thickens rapidly.
