Description
A quick and easy no-bake cookie recipe featuring a delightful blend of sweet caramel, crunchy pecans, chewy cranberries, and hearty oats. Perfect for a sweet treat on busy days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Roughly chop the pecans and measure out the dried cranberries and rolled oats.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream. Place over medium heat and stir frequently as the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Continue to stir and let the mixture bubble for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly and turns a light caramel color.
- Remove from heat immediately and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Add your chopped pecans and dried cranberries, stirring well to combine.
- Fold in the rolled oats until everything is evenly coated with the praline mixture.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the parchment, spacing them about an inch apart.
- Let the cookies cool completely at room temperature for about 30-40 minutes, or pop the sheet in the fridge to speed things up. Once set, enjoy your cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for freshness.
