Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup 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
- Begin by roughly chopping the pecans and measuring out the cranberries and oats to ensure everything is ready for mixing.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
- Continue to stir and let the mixture bubble for about 2 to 3 minutes, until it thickens slightly and takes on a light caramel color.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Add the chopped pecans and dried cranberries to the saucepan, stirring well to combine all ingredients.
- Fold in the rolled oats, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the praline mixture.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the parchment, spacing them about an inch apart.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature for about 30 to 40 minutes, or refrigerate the sheet to speed up the process. Once set, enjoy your delicious cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
Make sure to stir continuously while cooking to prevent the mixture from burning. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for longer freshness. These cookies can also be frozen for up to three months.
