Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by measuring out your rolled oats and chopped pecans, ensuring they’re ready for mixing.

  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.
