Pineapple-Coconut Drop (soft) Cookies image

These cookies were always in great demand at our house whenever I made them. Our 5 children loved the pineapple-coconut combination. The only problem was, I couldn't keep them on hand very long. I found this recipe in an Albuquerque newspaper sometime in the '60's and have made them many times since then.

  • 9. ***** NOTES: I have used fresh pineapple in these cookies and let me tell you, they are even more awesome ! Also, I made this same recipe with fresh oranges and they were delicious. If you like coconut you might consider adding a small amount of that to your batter.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple will give your cookies a more intense pineapple flavor.
  • Be sure to drain the pineapple well before adding it to the batter. This will prevent the cookies from becoming too wet.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.
