I love gifting homemade cookie mixes to friends, especially my baking adverse friends. When doing so, I need to make sure it’s as easy for them to execute as possible. We’re talking just-add-water type of easy. And that’s what I have for you today. You start with one master mix, add some simple mix-ins, package them in charming jars and add a cute tag with simple directions.

Transport yourself to the tropics with these coconut pineapple cookies. Thick and chewy, with bite-sized pieces of sweet pineapple and shredded coconut, you won’t be able to stop at one! This summer, enjoy these gems at the beach, lake, or pond, add a little imagination, and be transported to paradise without the extra expense.

  1. I don’t want these for gifts. I just want a regular normal recipe and NOT 9 cups of flour. Why even bother putting this recipe in with other. normal recipes!!!

  2. Is there any substitute for the butter, buttermilk, and pudding mix? For the lactose intolerant? This recipe is calling me, thanks in advance..
