Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by measuring out your rolled oats and chopped pecans, ensuring they’re ready for mixing.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir constantly and bring to a gentle boil for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Once the praline base has thickened, remove from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, add the pecans, cranberries, and rolled oats to the warm praline mixture.
  5. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool at room temperature for 30-40 minutes or refrigerate for 20 minutes to speed up the process.
  7. Once set, enjoy your no-bake cranberry pecan praline cookies!
