I love making oatmeal cookies in the autumn and winter, but I never seem to make them in the spring and summer. That’s about to change for good! These Pina Colada Oatmeal Cookies have brought oatmeal cookies into the summer with lots of coconut flavor and chunks of candied pineapple. This is the perfect cookie for the dog days of summer!

Preheat the oven to 350-375°F depending on your appliance. My oven was set to 350°F.
I start by mixing the coconut oil, white sugar, egg, coconut extract, and rum extract together in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Once they are well combined, I add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. I mix once again. The quick cooking oats, coconut, and Paradise Fruit Co. candied pineapple go in one at a time. The dough is very crumbly at this point. A little milk will help to bind the dough. Start with just a little and add only as much as is needed to make the dough easier to work with.
The cookies are spooned onto a sheet pan covered with aluminum foil for easy clean up. I gently squash each cookie to flatten them slightly. Once flattened, they are roughly about one inch in diameter. I leave an inch or two between each cookie just in case they spread, but mine really didn’t spread much. Bake for about 8-10 minutes. The bottom should be golden brown while the top is ever so slightly under-cooked. My cookies were perfect at the 9 minute mark. I made around 24 cookies.
