Ingredients

Scale
  • 2½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2½ cups quick oats
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: Melted chocolate or white chocolate drizzle for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Measure out oats, coconut, and pecans. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the sugar mixture: In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring until it comes to a boil. Boil gently for 3–4 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Add flavor and mix-ins: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Quickly mix in oats, coconut, and pecans until evenly coated.
  4. Form the cookies: Drop spoonfuls onto parchment-lined sheets. Let cool at room temperature for 30–45 minutes until firm.
  5. Optional finish: Drizzle with melted chocolate once set for extra flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for best texture — old-fashioned oats will make cookies more coarse.
  • Do not overboil — it can make cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let cookies cool completely before storing to keep their shape.
  • For a twist, add peanut butter, cocoa powder, or chai spices to the mixture.
  • Perfect for holiday platters, food gifts, and no-bake dessert spreads.
