Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add granulated sugar, packed brown sugar, evaporated milk, light corn syrup, and butter. Whisk together until butter has melted and both sugars have dissolved. Then, bring to a boil. Let boil for about 3 minutes without whisking. Turn off the heat and whisk together the hot mixture.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in vanilla extract and salt. Let this mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Add toasted pecans, sweetened coconut flakes, and sweetened shredded coconut. Stir, using a rubber spatula until the pecans and coconut are coated completely in the praline mixture.
If the mixture is too hot and thin, let it cool for an additional 5 minutes or until thickened. Then, using a cookie scoop, drop the praline mixture onto the prepared baking sheet making the cookies. Let the cookies set at room temperature. Enjoy!
