If you’re looking to sweeten up your day, you need to try these homemade cookies! The blend of tropical ingredients, like pineapple and coconut, is naturally sweet. Pineapple brings that delicate but tart taste. The coconut adds a creamy, slightly nutty flavour. Pineapple Coconut Cookies are light, soft, and easy to make!
If you’re a fan of tropical flavours, you’ll love this recipe. Double the coconut fun, it includes both coconut milk and shredded coconut to add a unique texture to the dough. To increase the sweetness, we added vanilla and chunks of real pineapple.

WHY YOU NEED TO TRY PIÑA COLADA COFFEE
We added a not-so-secret ingredient to this recipe - our Piña Colada Coffee! Made of 100% Arabica coffee beans that come from Brazil and Central America, which are then roasted to perfection and then flavoured with notes of pineapple and coconut. It is a perfect brew for your morning routine and a great addition to any dessert recipe!
What’s great about this recipe is you can replace ingredients with alternatives to make it healthier. Swap out the butter for a vegan option, and it becomes dairy-free. Use almond or coconut flour instead of all-purpose flour to make it gluten-free.
Replace your regular white sugar with monk fruit sweetener to keep the sweetness without the added calories and carbohydrates of refined sugar. Just a note, though - monk fruit sugar tends to be sweeter than white sugar. If this is your first experience baking with monk sugar, you may want to use half as much (a ratio of 1: ½) to ensure your cookies don’t come out too sweet. See how you like the result and adjust for future recipes as needed.
