Ingredients
Cookie Base:
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Mix-Ins:
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
- Optional: Chocolate chips or drizzle for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Toast the Pecans – In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
- Step 2: Make the Cookie Base – In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Let it boil for 1–2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- Step 3: Add Flavor and Mix-Ins – Stir in the vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and toasted pecans. Mix until everything is well combined and evenly coated.
- Step 4: Shape the Cookies – Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to shape them into small mounds.
