Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chopped dried pineapple, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to gently flatten each cookie, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
