Ingredients

5.5 cups flaked coconut
1 cup finely diced dried pineapple
0.67 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 cup finely chopped salted macadamia nuts
0.13 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon rum flavored extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, mix together the coconut, diced pineapple, flour, chopped macadamia nuts, and salt. Then, incorporate the sweetened condensed milk, rum extract, and vanilla extract. Form the dough into golf ball-sized portions and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the coconut turns golden brown and is nicely toasted.
