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.

### 3 Key Ingredients for Chewy Coconut Cookies - **Chewy Coconut Cookies:** Achieve a chewy texture by using the right ratio of coconut, sugar, and butter. - **Butter:** Use unsalted butter, softened to room temperature, for the best results. - **Coconut:** Use unsweetened shredded coconut for a delightful coconutty taste. ### Step-by-Step Guide for Baking Coconut Cookies 1. **Combine the Sugars:** In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated and brown sugars until well combined. 2. **Cream the Mixture:** Add the softened butter to the bowl with the sugars and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, for about 2 minutes. 3. **Add the Eggs:** Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. 4. **Add the Vanilla:** Pour in the vanilla and coconut extracts and mix until combined. 5. **Combine the Flour and Baking Soda:** In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose and coconut flours, salt, and oil. 6. **Combine the Mixtures:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Do not over-stir. 7. **Fold in the Coconut:** Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter. 8. **Scoop and Bake:** Use a heaping tablespoon to scoop the batter onto a parchment paper- or Silpat- lined sheet pan. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the bottom is golden brown. 9. **Let the Cookies Set:** Let the cookies rest on the sheet pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire grid to cool completely. ### Baking Hacks for Coconut Cookies - **Chewy Centers:** For chewier cookies, chill the batter for at least 30 minutes before scooping and shaping. This will help the cookies hold their shape and create a gooey center. - **Crispy Edges:** For crispier cookies, flatten the topped cookies slightly with a spoon or a flat-bottomed dish before popping them into the preheated over. - **To Taste:** To enhance the coconut taste, sprinkle a bit more shredded coconut on top of the cookies before the final bake. ### Troubleshooting Guide - **Cookies Not Spreading:** If the cookies are not spreading much, the butter might not have been creaming properly. Ensure that the butter is completely softened and at room temperature before beating. - **Cookies are too Crispy:** This can happen if you don't chill the batter before scooping or if your butter was too cold. Chilled batter helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents over-spreading. - **Chewy Cookies Desired:** If the cookies come out too crispy, adjust the rule of threes. Try increasing the coconut, sugar, and butter by equal amounts until you achieve your desired texture. ### Key Takeaways - Coconut cookies boast a chewy interior, crispy coconutty edge, and a tempting sweetness. They are a treat for any coconut enthusiast. - The combination of granulated and brown sugar, salted butter, and unsweetened shredded coconut gives these cookies their classic chewy texture and delicious coconutty taste. - Simple adjustments to the ingredients and even chilling the batter can result in your perfect coconut cookies.
