Let’s Make These Sweet Coconut Rum Cookies

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the butter and both sugars until light and creamy. Add the egg, vanilla, and rum, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the shredded coconut and any optional mix-ins.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack.
