For the Cookie Mixture
- 1 cup Sugar (200 g)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (113 g)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream (60 ml)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped (60 g)
- 1/2 cup Dried Cranberries (75 g)
- 2 cups Rolled Oats (180 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by roughly chopping the pecans and measuring out your dried cranberries and rolled oats.
Cooking
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently.
- Continue stirring until the mixture bubbles for about 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly and turning a light caramel color.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Add chopped pecans and dried cranberries to the saucepan, stirring well to combine.
- Fold in the rolled oats until everything is evenly coated.
Setting
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the parchment, spaced about an inch apart.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature for about 30-40 minutes, or refrigerate to speed up the setting process.
Serving
- Once set, they are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Notes
These cookies are great on their own or served with a warm beverage. They are also customizable; replace cranberries with raisins or add chocolate chips for variety.
