How to Make Banana Rum Coconut Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) rolled oats, 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork and stir into the wet ingredients. Add 1/4 cup (60ml) rum and 1 cup (150g) shredded sweetened coconut. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven).
  7. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
