Pineapple Coconut Cookies are soft, chewy treats bursting with tropical flavors, perfect for summer gatherings or cozy snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup pineapple jam
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and shredded coconut. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Press down in the center of each dough ball to create an indentation and fill with pineapple jam.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flax egg.
- Consider adding chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor.
