Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum
- 0.75 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.25 cup Shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and dark rum until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and shredded coconut (if using).
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
