Description

Delightful no-bake cookies featuring sweet dried cranberries and crunchy pecans, all enveloped in a rich praline-like coating.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1 cup Pecans, toasted
  • ½ cup Butter
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by measuring out all ingredients. Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix the Base: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the sugar and sweetened condensed milk and let it simmer, stirring continuously until it reaches a soft boil.
  3. Combine the Flavors: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the toasted pecans, dried cranberries, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until everything is coated evenly.
  4. Shape the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment paper and let them cool for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Chill and Enjoy: Place the cookies in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Patience is key! Allow enough time for cookies to chill properly to avoid a gooey mess.
