Ingredients

  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 stick of butter, softened
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons rum extract
  • ¾ cup shredded coconut
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 5 bags coconut m&m's, 1.5 ounce bags

Equipment

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Beat the butter and brown sugar until very creamy.
  • Add the eggs, extract, salt, and baking powder and beat again. Slowly beat in the flour until just combined.
  • Stir the coconut, m&m's, and chocolate chips in by hand.
  • Spread in a greased 9x13 pan and bake for 22-27 minutes (22 minutes if you like them gooey and a tiny bit undercooked . . . 27 minutes if you like them a little harder and fully cooked). 
  • Let them cool completely before cutting and devouring. (I actually think these these taste better the next day!!).

Notes

You could replace rum extract with a different extract, and it would still taste absolutely delicious. Here are a few extracts we recommend replacing it with:
    • coconut extract
    • vanilla extract ( or imitation vanilla would also work)
    • almond extract
