Sweet little bites of coconut and pineapple.
Ingredients
  • 2 c. unsweetened coconut shreds or flakes
  • ⅓ c. evaporated cane juice
  • ¼ c. coconut oil or butter
  • 1 large egg
  • dash of sea salt
  • ¼ c. + 3T. unbleached flour, divided
  • ½ c. finely chopped dried pineapple, packed (about 3 whole rings)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Place coconut, sugar and oil/butter into a food processor. Process until mixture looks like sand. Add egg, salt and ¼ c. flour. Process again to blend well. It should now look like wet sand. Remove to a bowl and mix in pineapple.
  3. Use a 2T. cookie scoop to scoop balls of dough. Roll balls one at a time into a small bowl with the remaining 3T. of flour, coating all around. Now divide each flour coated ball into 4 smaller balls and place them evenly spaced apart on cookie sheets.
  4. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the bottoms are lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately turn cookies over onto their tops or sides to prevent the bottoms from overbrowning. Cool.
