Delicious Coconut Pineapple Drop Cookies are a tropical cookie that is super easy to make.
Coconut Pineapple Drop Cookies
WOW! We are already at day 9 of our 25 days of Holiday Cookies and Treats! Is this month flying by for anyone else?
Today we are basking in a tropical cookie bliss...Coconut Pineapple Drop Cookies
How in the world is it already the 7th of December? I was looking at the calendar and realized it is only 18 days until Christmas and 24 days until New Years!
SO NOT READY for the holidays to be here!
I did whip up our holiday cards this week and get them ready to be mailed. I am slowly but surely knocking out things on my holiday to-do list.
One of which is to bake 25 days of Holiday Cookies and we are already on day 9 so hopefully, that means the calories no longer count for the next 16 days. 🙂
That's how it works right...After so many days the holiday cookies are valued at negative calories and you can eat as many as you like...If only this was true.
So with that in mind, I made a cookie that has fruit in it. I figured we would take a small, tiny, not for long break from chocolate and dive into tropical cookies.
I keep thinking of palm trees swaying in the wind, gorgeous white sand beaches, and a nice frosty tropical drink but until I can catch a flight somewhere warm and tropical these Coconut Pineapple Drop Cookies are the best I can do.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Shortening
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Sweetened coconut flakes
- Crushed pineapple
Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
Cookie Scoop - A cookie scoop makes it so easy to get consistent cookies that all look great together.
Parchment Paper - I am a huge fan of using parchment paper to make clean up and serving so much easier.
Baking Sheet - I like to use baking sheets with sides so there is no way I can be clumsy and have the cookies slide right off into the oven {not that I want to admit that it has happened but I did learn my lesson.}
Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.

How many cookies does a batch make?
Tammilee
I made about 2 dozen cookies with this mix. I did varying sizes to see which ones worked out best.

These do sound interesting. I'm not a huge fan of coconut myself but I know a few people that really like it that these might make a great little treat for.

These sound fabulous. Do you drain the pineapple or not. I'm thinking not but thought I better ask. Thanks.
Tammilee
Hi Jean, You just dump the pineapple in. No need to drain it.
