Ingredients
 

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar; packed
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp rum or coconut extract
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup candied dried pineapple; chopped
  • 1/2 cup loose granola
  • 1/4 cup macadamia nuts; chopped
  • 1/4 cup large coconut flakes

Instructions
 

  • Beat coconut oil and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer (or by hand) together until well combined. Keeping the motor running, add in eggs, then extract.
  • Blend in flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go.
  • Stir in pineapple, coconut, and macadamias. The dough will be quite stiff and you may need to do this by hand.
  • Chill the dough for an hour.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Evenly space dough by dropping it in heaped tablespoons onto parchment paper (12 cookies per sheet).
  • Bake in a 350 F oven for 10-14 minutes. Remove and let cool on wire racks.
