No-Bake Southern Treats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Dough Mix
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
03 -
1/2 cup corn syrup
04 -
2 cups granulated sugar
05 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter
06 -
2 cups shredded coconut
07 -
1/2 cup evaporated milk
08 -
2 cups chopped, roasted pecans
# Instructions:
01 -
Get some wax paper and spread it on your counter so the cookies have space to cool.
02 -
Toss the granulated sugar, evaporated milk, corn syrup, butter, and salt into a medium pot. Stir over medium heat until the butter melts and blends smoothly.
03 -
Let the mixture come to a rolling boil, then let it cook for 3 minutes. Stir it here and there until it turns creamy.
04 -
Take the pot off the heat, and quickly mix in the roasted pecans, shredded coconut, and vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
05 -
Scoop up the mixture in tablespoonfuls or use a small scoop, and drop portions onto the prepared wax paper. Shapes don’t have to be perfect—keep them rustic!
06 -
Leave the cookies for about 20-30 minutes to cool and harden. You can enjoy them while they're still a little warm, too.
# Notes:
01 -
To bring out the best flavor, toast your pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat, but don’t leave them unsupervised so they won’t burn.
02 -
Store these treats in an airtight container, and pop them in the fridge if things get hot or humid.
