    Gluten Free Pineapple Coconut Sugar Cookie

    March 6, 2021 by burntapple Leave a Comment

    Bite into a sugar cookie filled with bits of pineapple and coconut. Fill your kitchen with the aroma of the seasons most popular beachside flavors!

    What Type of Pineapple Bits to Use:

    There are several different brands of pineapple you can use in this recipe.

    • Dehydrated pineapple bits
    • Candied pineapple bits
    • Freeze dried pineapple bits

    Questions on Coconut:

    Sweetened or Unsweetened Coconut?

    Either is fine.

    Toasted or Untoasted Coconut?

    I love toasted but I used untoasted coconut in the photos. If you like the taste of toasted coconut, place your coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for approximately 2-5 minutes in the oven at 350 degrees. Stir halfway through cooking time. Remove coconut from the oven once it is nicely browned.

    How to Store Cookies:

    Store cookies in an airtight container for several days or store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in the freezer for up to one month.

    Food Allergy Friendly Substitutions:

    • Dairy: In this recipe you can substitute the butter for non dairy butter.
    • Egg: Feel free to use egg replacer in place of the eggs.
    • Vegan: These cookies can be made into vegan cookies easily just by using egg replacer and dairy free butter.
    • Gluten: We used Cup4Cup in this recipe. It gave that nice cracked appearance to the sugar cookie. In another batch we used Bob's Red Mill 1:1. You can use unbleached all purpose flour too.
    • Sugar: You are welcome to substitute any sugar you would like to use as long as it's 1:1. Just know it may change the flavor of the cookies.

    **Substitutions may result in changes in flavor or texture of the cookies.

    I've been making over recipes since I was ten. Back then I wasn't so great at it and created everything from rubber cakes for my Dad's birthday to rock muffins that put a hole in the wall.

    Diagnosed with colitis ten years ago and with three young children I had to learn to cook. But life was busy and there wasn't a lot of time to cook or figure out what I could eat!

    Burnt Apple became my personal coffee shop--a place to share, talk and vent! I share minimal ingredient recipes with five ingredients or less and ready in under thirty minutes!
