Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fresh is best for texture, but you can rehydrate finely chopped dried pineapple in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain very well before using.
Substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative and the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water, left to gel for 5 minutes).
This is usually due to the dough being too warm or too much moisture from the fruit. Make sure to chill the dough thoroughly as directed and adequately drain the pineapple.
For the most vibrant pink cookies, use dragon fruit with deep magenta or red flesh. White-fleshed dragon fruit will provide a subtler color and speckled look.
Absolutely. Once completely cooled, place the cookies in a single layer in a freezer-safe container or bag, separated by parchment paper. They freeze well for up to 3 months.
