1/3 c pineapple juice
1 (20oz) can(s) pineapple tidbits, drained

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the cut up mango, rum and pineapple juice in a small bowl, cover. Microwave for 5 min. stir and cover again and set aside until cool.
  • 2. With a mixer cream butter and both sugars. Add the eggs one at a time. Then add in the vanilla and coconut flavoring.
  • 3. In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients together with a whisk. Then carefully a cup at a time add to creamed butter/sugar mixture. Batter will be very stiff.
  • 4. Add all the fruit: mangos, pineapple tidbits, cocount, macadamin nuts, and chips to the mixture on low speed until combined.
  • 5. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, trying to keep each amount the same size. Place dough on a parchment lined cookie sheet, 12 to a pan. Bake 18 min at 375*. Let cool on pan for 10 min. then remove to wire rack and mist with more of the pineapple rum.
  • 6. After these are cool, you will need to store them in a plastic container with lid and put them in your refrigerator, like fruitcake they taste better with age, you just don't have to wait 3 weeks before trying them.
