No-Bake Cranberry Pecan Praline Cookies

These no-bake cranberry pecan praline cookies are a cozy treat featuring caramel flavors, chewy oats, and toasty pecans, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup Dried cranberries
  • 2 cups Rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Roughly chop the pecans and measure out the cranberries and oats. Lining your baking sheet with parchment now makes the final step faster.
  2. Combine the sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and stir frequently so nothing sticks.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, continuing to stir so it heats evenly.
  4. Let the mixture bubble for 2 to 3 minutes, still stirring, until it thickens slightly and takes on a light caramel color.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well so the vanilla is evenly distributed.
  6. Add the chopped pecans and dried cranberries to the caramel mixture, stirring to coat them thoroughly.
  7. Fold in the rolled oats until every flake is evenly coated with the praline mixture.
  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, drop mounds of the mixture onto the parchment. Space them slightly so they do not stick together.
  9. Let the cookies cool completely for about 30 to 40 minutes at room temperature, or place the tray in the refrigerator to speed up the process until set.
  10. Once set, enjoy your cookies. Store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

These cookies can be customized by adjusting the amount of nuts or even omitting them for a pure cranberry flavor.
