cookie sheet
waxed paper
tablespoon scoop
Ingredients
2 1/2cupspecans chopped or whole
2cupsunsweetened coconut flakes or coconut shreds
2 1/2cupswhite sugar
1/2cupmilk
1/2cuplight corn syrup
1stick unsalted butter 1/2 cup
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare a large cookie sheet, or several sheets, with waxed paper. In a bowl, stir together the pecans and coconut.
In a saucepan on medium-high heat, stir together the sugar, milk, corn syrup, and butter. Continue to stir while bringing the mixture to a rolling boil. Stabilize the heat so that it continues to boil for 3 minutes.
Remove pot from heat. Pour in the vanilla. Follow up with the pecans and coconut, stirring well to coat everything in goopy hot sugar.
Use a tablespoon scoop to dole out cookies on the waxed paper. If they fall apart a bit, carefully use a spoon or the scoop to shape them again. Let cookies set, at least 15 minutes. Carefully peel them away from the waxed paper; note that the first scoops may be more prone to stick.
