Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar – creates the caramelized base
1 cup brown sugar – adds depth and subtle molasses flavor
½ cup unsalted butter – adds richness and helps bind the cookies
¼ cup milk – adds creaminess
1 tsp vanilla extract – enhances flavor
¼ tsp salt – balances sweetness
2 cups quick oats – provides structure and chewiness
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut – adds tropical flavor
1 cup chopped pecans – adds nutty crunch
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugars, butter, and milk; stir until smooth and bring to a gentle boil for 1-2 minutes.
3. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract and salt.
4. Fold in oats, coconut, and pecans until evenly coated.
5. Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto the prepared sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
6. Allow cookies to set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Cookies freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
For extra flavor, sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle melted chocolate.
Use quick oats for softer texture; old-fashioned oats will make them chewier.
