Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Mixture
  • 2 cups Pecans (chopped) Use fresh pecans for best flavor.
  • 2 cups Grated coconut Unsweetened or sweetened based on preference.
  • ½ cup Butter Melted.
  • 2½ cups White Sugar
  • ½ cup Evaporated milk
  • ½ cup Karo corn syrup (dark or light)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans and grated coconut. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter together with the sugar, evaporated milk, and corn syrup over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to combine.
  3. Bring the butter mixture to a boil, and let it boil for exactly three minutes, stirring several times during this period.
  4. Remove the mixture from the heat and add the vanilla and the pecan-coconut mixture into the melted butter. Stir quickly and consistently for exactly four minutes.
  5. Use a medium cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper.
  6. Allow the cookies to set for at least 30 minutes to an hour. If the cookies still look shiny, they need more time to dry.

Notes

These cookies are best served at room temperature and can be paired with a glass of milk or coffee. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months with parchment paper between layers.
