Description

These Pineapple Cookies are a delightful tropical treat that combines the sweetness of pineapple juice concentrate with the rich texture of mashed banana. The addition of vegetable oil and egg ensures a moist, tender crumb, while flaked coconut adds a pleasant chew and nutty aroma. A hint of grated orange rind brightens the flavor profile, making these cookies perfect for afternoon tea or as a unique dessert accompaniment. They are easy to prepare with pantry staples, offering a burst of vacation-style flavor in every bite. Ideal for sharing with friends or enjoying with a hot cup of coffee.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly oil two baking sheets.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth.
  3. Beat together the mashed banana, pineapple juice concentrate, vegetable oil, egg, and milk until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and flaked coconut to the wet ingredients.
  5. Beat the mixture well until a uniform dough forms.
  6. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Sprinkle each cookie lightly with grated orange rind.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just brown and the cookies are firm to the touch.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Note

Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Substitutions: You can use unsweetened or sweetened flaked coconut based on your preference for sweetness. If you don't have pineapple juice concentrate, you can use 1/4 cup of strong pineapple juice reduced down, or substitute with mango nectar for a different tropical twist.

Tip: Ensure the banana is ripe for the best natural sweetness and moisture. Overbaking can dry out these cookies, so keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of baking.
