Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and coconut extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
-
Fold in the shredded coconut and crushed pineapple. The dough should be slightly sticky but still hold its shape.
-
Prepare a cookie press with a desired disk (star-shaped or swirl disk works perfectly for this recipe).
-
Fill the cookie press with the dough and press cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Optional: Drizzle the cooled cookies with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and pineapple juice.
-
Serve and enjoy!
