Tropical Chocolate Chip Cookies

A Rum Cookie Recipe

These Tropical Chocolate Chip Cookies are filled with white chocolate chips, banana and coconut flavoring and…yep, lots of rum. Christie and I went back and forth about how much rum to add but I won. Lots of rum.

The dough comes together quickly, then you can use a scoop to portion out the dough so they cook evenly.

See those nice white chocolate chips on top? Nicely placed so they actually show up when the cookies baked at the end. One of the few baking tips we’ve learned.

These cookies are going to be the star of any dessert table, even for those of you that don’t know how to bake at ALL. Because I promise you, if I can make these Tropical Chocolate Chip Cookies you definitely can too.

I’m loving all the boozy food we’ve been making lately like our famous Deep Fried Whiskey Ribs or this Boozy Cowboy Caviar for appetizers. The booze doesn’t have to take over the food, it just adds a great flavor to whatever you’re cooking.

And now that we’re talking about dessert today, there wasn’t any need to stop adding some booze to our cookies!

If, of course, you are really not wanting to add the rum in here you can leave it out. I would up the vanilla extract to 2 teaspoons and the coconut extract to 1 1/2.

But please. Do try these with the rum. It’s so worth it!
