The other weekend, I had a few friends over to watch the season finale of Lost. Even if
you've never seen the show, you probably know that the majority of it takes place on an island.
So I thought I would make something a little tropical.
What's more tropical than pineapple and coconut (and a little almond for good measure)?

RUM!
If you don't particularly care for certain of the ingredients you can leave them out.
But the pineapple-coconut-almond combination is absolutely delightful. The rum is also optional,
but the amount listed below will just give a hint of spice to your cookies.
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 whole egg
1 8oz can crushed pineapple, with juice
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts
2 cups coconut flakes
3 tablespoons rum
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F.
Cream together your butter, sugar, and the egg.
Mix in the crushed pineapple, including all the juice. The mixture will be very wet.
Add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and coconut flakes.
and the almonds.
Combine well and refrigerate for an hour or so. Then spoon ping-pong ball sized drops
of the cold dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
Chilling the dough will help the cookies keep their rounded shape.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until the edges stat to brown.
These cookies come out light and fluffy, and deliciously exotic. Enjoy!
Oh, and if anyone has a name suggestion for these cookies that is less of a mouthfull
than "pineapple-coconut-almond-rum cookies" please feel free to share!
Bahama Mamas!
ReplyDeleteYou should call them "LOST cookies" or "Island cookies" or "Tropical Treats."
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to make them, I love any baked good that's full of chunks!
I like cookies. In breakfast, I would like to eat cookies daily with tea. Likely, I will provide them a package of cabinet refinishing in manassas. They can changed their cabinets with new designs and according to his desire.
ReplyDeleteA Car Key Replacement Services is not something that should be taken lightly. There are many companies out there that offer this type of service, but not all of them will do a good job for you. You want to find a company that specializes in this type of work and has experience with it. That way, you can be sure that they will get the job done right the first time around.
