Photo: Pina Colada Madeleine Cookies Recipe
This is a super-quick, very yummy cookie that meshes well in any island or Latin-themed gathering.
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 1 (18.25-ounce) box pineapple cake mix
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons dark rum or rum extract
- 1 cup flaked coconut
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Put the cake mix in a mixing bowl and add the butter. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the eggs, milk and rum. Beat with a wooden spoon until you form a smooth batter. Fold in coconut until evenly distributed.
Spray 2 madeleine molds with nonstick cooking spray. Using a tablespoon, drop the batter into the molds filling halfway. If you don't have madeleine molds, you may drop the batter on an ungreased baking pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the cookies are nicely browned. Let cool in the pan then turn out onto a platter. Repeat method with remaining batter.

It was very easy to make and tasted delicious! I've baked them for 13 minutes. The outside crust was crispy and inside was soft--a very nice soft cookie with a crunch! I've used nonsweetened coconut flakes and I think that was perfect since sweetened flakes would have been too sweet for overall taste. Since I only have 1 madeleine pan, I had to bake 4-5 times so I better get another madeleine pan soon. Next time, I'm going to try with 1/2 amount of butter and 1/2 amount of canola oil and see if it still comes out nice. I saw Ellie Krieger do that substitution a lot in baking and I'll give that a try to reduce butter intake. Overall, very tasty and my kitty wants to eat it, too!
