Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 stick butter - softened
1 tsp salt
3/4 c sugar
3/4 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp rum extract
2 large eggs
1 pkg butterscotch chips (approx 10 oz size)
7 oz shredded coconut, toasted, divided
1 pkg coconut cream pudding mix

Steps:

  • 1. Toast coconut (I use the toaster oven) until it is light golden brown
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9x13 baking sheet with non-stick spray
  • 3. Into a large mixing bowl, mix sugar, brown sugar, soda, salt and coconut cream pudding mix. Add eggs, one at a time, rum extract, and butter and beat until smooth. Beat in 5oz coconut. Gradually add flour until well blended. Mix in butterscotch chips.
  • 4. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons onto cookie sheet
  • 5. Slightly flatten top of each ball with the back of a teaspoon and drop a pinch of the remaining toasted coconut onto each cookie
  • 6. Bake 12-14 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of cookie pulls out clean.
  • 7. Place on a wire rack to cool. (Then snag one warm for yourself before everyone else gets to them, or there may be none left :) Enjoy!)
