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

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by roughly chopping the pecans and measuring out the cranberries and oats to ensure everything is ready for mixing.
  2. Mix the Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream.
  3. Heat the Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  4. Cook Until Thickened: Continue to stir and let the mixture bubble for about 2โ€“3 minutes, until it thickens slightly and takes on a light caramel color.
  5. Flavor It Up: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  6. Incorporate Pecans and Cranberries: Add the chopped pecans and dried cranberries to the saucepan, stirring well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Mix in Oats: Fold in the rolled oats, ensuring everything is evenly coated with the praline mixture.
  8. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  9. Scoop the Mixture: Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the parchment, spacing them about an inch apart.
  10. Cool and Set: Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature for about 30โ€“40 minutes, or refrigerate the sheet to speed up the process.
