			For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pineapple jam or preserves
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (for topping)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour and 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make an indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of pineapple jam.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining shredded coconut while still warm. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
