Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Sugar Essential for caramelization
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Switch with coconut oil for a dairy-free option
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream Can be substituted with whole or coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract For best results, use pure vanilla
For the Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup Pecans (chopped) Feel free to substitute with walnuts or almonds
  • 1 cup Dried Cranberries Fresh cranberries aren't recommended due to excess moisture
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Ensure oats are certified gluten-free for a gluten-free treat
For Balance
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances out the sweetness

Equipment

  • medium saucepan
  • baking sheet
  • spoon or cookie scoop

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by roughly chopping the pecans and measuring out your dried cranberries and rolled oats.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream. Heat over medium heat while stirring constantly.
  3. Once your mixture reaches a gentle boil, continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  5. To the warm praline base, add the chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly.
  6. On a lined baking sheet, drop mounds of the mixture about an inch apart and press them slightly to hold together.
  7. Allow your No-Bake Cranberry Pecan Praline Cookies to cool completely, which should take about 30-40 minutes.
  8. Once the cookies are set, they're ready to enjoy! Serve them fresh or store in an airtight container.
