Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup Butter (or Coconut Oil) Provides richness and moisture; coconut oil is a great dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and promotes browning for that perfect golden hue.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Contributes moisture and a deeper flavor profile.
  • 2 large Eggs (or Flax Eggs) Binds ingredients; switch to flax eggs for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Elevates the overall flavors.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (or Almond Flour) Main structural base; almond flour for gluten-free.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Acts as a leavening agent.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavors.
  • 1 cup Shredded Coconut Adds a delightful chewy texture.
For the Topping
  • 8 slices Pineapple Rings Ensure they are drained well for perfect juiciness.
  • 1/2 cup Caramel Sauce Drizzle generously for an extra layer of sweetness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pineapple Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter (or coconut oil) with both sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour (or almond flour), baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in the shredded coconut evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Arrange the pineapple rings on the baking sheet and scoop about 1/4 cup of cookie dough onto each, pressing slightly.
  7. Drizzle caramel sauce generously over each cookie.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
