This crushed pineapple and coconut cookie is similar to one sold in a regional grocery store in the Southeast. There are several similar recipes out there, and this is the best combination of them!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 ¼ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup crushed pineapple, well drained
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Spread pecans and coconut onto a baking sheet.
Step 2
Toast in the preheated oven until coconut is very light golden brown and pecans become fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 10 minutes. Leave the oven on.
Step 3
Pulse oats in a blender or food processor until slightly ground.
Step 4
Mix brown sugar, white sugar, and butter together in a bowl. Add pineapple, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
Step 5
Mix oats, flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl; mix into the wet ingredients. Stir in toasted coconut and pecans. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheets for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook’s Notes:
Toasting coconut and pecans is optional. I think the flavor is deeper if you do.
