These No-Bake Cranberry Pecan Praline Cookies are a cozy, buttery treat that come together in minutes, balancing caramel notes with crunchy pecans and chewy cranberries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Granulated 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

  1. Prep your ingredients. Roughly chop the pecans and measure out the cranberries and oats so everything is ready to go.
  2. Combine sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and stir frequently until the butter melts and the mixture reaches a gentle boil.
  3. Continue stirring for 2 to 3 minutes while the mixture thickens slightly and turns a light caramel color. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly blended.
  5. Add the chopped pecans and dried cranberries to the caramel mixture, stirring well to distribute them throughout.
  6. Fold in the rolled oats until every bit is evenly coated with the praline mixture.
  7. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop mounds of the mixture onto the parchment, spacing them about an inch apart so they do not stick together.
  8. Let the cookies cool completely at room temperature for about 30 to 40 minutes, or refrigerate to speed up the setting if you prefer firmer cookies sooner. Once set, store leftovers in an airtight container.

Notes

Stir constantly while boiling to prevent the sugar from scorching. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
