Pineapple Coconut Pecan Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pineapple Coconut Pecan Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lining your cookie sheets with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup later.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, spread the chopped pecans and flaked coconut on a baking sheet.

3. Step 3

   Toast them in the oven for about 5 to 7 minutes, keeping an eye on them until the coconut turns a lovely light golden brown and the pecans release their delightful aroma.

4. Step 4

   Once toasted, take them out and let them cool for about 10 minutes, but don’t turn off that oven just yet! Next, grab a blender or food processor and pulse the rolled oats until they’re slightly ground, creating a nice texture for your cookies.

5. Step 5

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter, stirring until everything is well blended.

6. Step 6

   Then, add in the crushed pineapple, egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until you have a smooth and inviting batter.

7. Step 7

   In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ground oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

8. Step 8

   Gradually fold this dry mixture into your wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.

9. Step 9

   Now it’s time to add in the star ingredients: gently fold in the toasted coconut and pecans, allowing their flavors to mingle beautifully.

10. Step 10

    Using a spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto your prepared cookie sheets, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart for even baking.

11. Step 11

    Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are a delightful golden brown.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re done, let the cookies cool on the sheets for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the sweet aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the delicious treats you’ve just created!.
