Coconut Thumbprint Cookies with Pineapple Filling

Delicious coconut cookies with a sweet and tangy pineapple filling, perfect for tropical-inspired treats.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup pineapple jam or preserves

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, shredded coconut, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in egg yolk and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  5. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Press your thumb gently into the center of each ball to create an indentation.
  6. Fill each indentation with about 1/2 teaspoon of pineapple jam.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
