Baking birthday cookies is a sweet way to celebrate the Fourth of July. Since cookies is one of America’s favorite foods, and pina colada is a popular tropical drink, let’s combine them into one delicious package called pina colada cookies.
These soft and moist cookies need a touch of rum, but the alcohol will evaporate during baking.
I adapted this recipe for pina colada birthday cookies from Sweet Maria’s Cookie Jar by Maria Bruscino Sanchez. First edition: October 2002. St. Martin’s Griffin, N.Y.
