Pina Colada Cookies

I have to admit these were not my favorite cookie by any means. But I threw in a few extra ingredients and they were  delicious not too bad. The funny thing was, that I kept tasting them trying to see if I liked them and they started growing on me. Needless to say I now have seriously overdosed on them. If you love coconut and pineapple try these, they are not time consuming at all. Think I will go taste them one more time.
