I created this recipe one day when I was feeling adventurous. If you like a cookie that's not super-sweet but JUST RIGHT, this is it. Has a cake-like consistency.

Ingredients

1/2	c butter, softened
3/4	c white sugar
1 1/2	c flour
1/2	tsp baking soda
1/2	tsp salt
1	large egg
1	tsp vanilla extract
1	tsp rum extract
2	tsp lemon peel
1/2	c sweetened coconut flakes
1	c pineapple tidbits in juice , 1/3 of liquid in can set aside

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F.
In a medium-sized bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Stir in egg, vanilla, rum, lemon peel, pineapple w/reserved liquid and coconut. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold into wet mixture. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake 9 minutes or until bottoms turn light golden brown; tops should still be light. Transfer to wire cooling racks until completely cool. Store in an airtight container to keep the cookies soft and moist.
