No‑Bake Coconut Pecan Praline Cookies mix a simple boiled sugar‑butter base with shredded coconut, pecans, and quick oats, then set into chewy, candy‑like mounds without ever turning on the oven. They’re quick, rich, and perfect when you want praline flavor in an easy no‑bake cookie that firms up in under an hour.
Why You’ll Love These Cookies
You’ll love these cookies if you like classic no‑bake oatmeal cookies and Southern coconut‑pecan pralines, because this recipe lands right between the two: chewy from the oats, crunchy from the pecans, and candy‑like from the boiled sugar mixture. The base—sugar, butter, milk, a pinch of salt, and vanilla—uses the same approach as no‑bake praline cookies and no‑bake chocolate oat cookies: bring to a brief boil, then stir in the dry ingredients and scoop quickly before it sets.
They’re also very forgiving and fast. Similar no‑bake coconut praline recipes say you can have them mixed and on the tray in about 20–25 minutes, and they set at room temperature or in the fridge without special equipment.
