Enjoy these treats whether you are preparing for an afternoon adventure, or staying at home with a cup of tea to enjoy a movie. The coconut adds a nuttiness to it that does not compare to any other cookie I have ever enjoyed. One of our favorite treats from our last trip there was some tasty pineapple coconut cookies. They are light and chewy, have a lemony pineapple flavor, a sprinkle of coconut and a cherry on top. The cherry on top sounds cliché but it really is not so. It is the perfect treat for an afternoon by the pool or after a bike ride.
