Start by preparing your ingredients. Roughly chop the pecans and measure out the dried cranberries and rolled oats, ensuring everything is ready to go.

In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, unsalted butter, and heavy cream over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, which should take around 2-3 minutes.

Once the praline base has thickened, remove the saucepan from heat. Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring well to incorporate these flavors.

Add in the chopped pecans and dried cranberries to the warm praline base. Stir everything together until the nuts and berries are well-coated. Next, fold in the rolled oats.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the parchment.

Let your Cranberry Pecan Praline Cookies cool at room temperature for 30-40 minutes to allow them to set perfectly.
