Maple Pecan No Bake Cookies (Printable Version)
Sweet oat and pecan cookies made on the stovetop, topped with maple glaze - no baking required for these delicious treats!
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 cups old fashioned oats
02 -
2 ½ cups maple syrup
03 -
1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
04 -
1 cup finely chopped pecans
→ Glaze
05 -
½ cup powdered sugar
06 -
2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper to allow for easy transfer of cookies once formed.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine oats and chopped pecans. Set aside.
03 -
In a large saucepan, melt butter with maple syrup over medium-high heat. Stir constantly and cook until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer. The mixture will bubble up considerably, so ensure your pan is large enough to prevent overflow.
04 -
Immediately pour the hot syrup mixture over the oats and pecans, stirring thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
05 -
Using a cookie scoop, portion the mixture into 24 equal mounds on the prepared cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a greased measuring cup or gently shape with your hands. Top each cookie with one pecan while still warm.
06 -
Allow cookies to rest for 1 hour, then flip and let sit for another hour to fully set.
07 -
Mix powdered sugar and maple syrup in a bowl until smooth. Transfer the glaze to a zip-lock bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle decoratively over the cooled cookies.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If the syrup mixture doesn't reach the specified temperature of 240°F, the cookies won't set properly.
02 -
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
