Pineapple Filled Cookies Recipe

A soft buttery shortbread with yummy pineapple filling– this pineapple cookie is to die for! And it’s eggless! Let’s learn about these yummy centre-filled cookies! 

When I first had these pineapple-filled cookies, I was amazed by their taste and texture. They look super cute, too. So, I decided I had to recreate them for you. 

The ones I had were made with eggs, but I thought of making them eggless, keeping their texture the same. The cookies are soft overall with a crumbly and melt-in-the-mouth-like texture. The pineapple filling inside is sweet and can be made easily at home. 

They are inspired by Taiwanese pineapple cookies, which they baked soft, crumbly cookies filled with sweet pineapples. These cookies have a cute design on top, which may look challenging to make but is quite simple instead. I’m positive that you will love these cookies.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • Amazing Texture: It’s a cookie with a cake-like texture. Yes!! A cookie which has a slight crunchy exterior but a very soft and crumbly interior. They are made using ingredients like almond flour and milk powder, which helps give them a different texture than other cookies. You will love the crumble from the cookies mixed with soft and sweet pineapple chunks. 
  • They Are Cute: Don’t they look super cute? They have a dome-like shape with a crisscross design on top. They don’t look like regular cookies; instead, they look like a cute dessert! 
  • Crowd-pleaser: Make them during a get-together for friends and family, and they will turn out to be an absolute crowd-pleaser. Everyone loves pineapple flavor, especially when you make your own homemade pineapple filling! 

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Almond Flour: Besides all-purpose flour, almond flour is added to the cookie dough, which makes it have a soft and slightly crumbly texture. This flour absorbs moisture, which keeps the cookie soft. 
  • Corn flour: Another gluten-free flour is used, which helps make the cookie less chewy and more tender. 
  • Milk Powder: Milk powder, along with some milk, adds a certain richness and flavor to the cookies. 
  • Unsalted Butter: The cookie dough is made using unsalted butter so that the salt can be added as per the taste. The butter must be soft and not hard or melted. 
  • Icing Sugar: Icing sugar gives a nice compact and snappy texture to the cookie. I would not recommend replacing it with castor sugar as it would greatly change the cookie texture. 
  • Pineapple Chunks: The filling is made using canned pineapple chunks. You may, however, use fresh pineapple also. 
  • Honey: Adding honey to the filling provides a nice flavor, which, when paired with pineapple, tastes excellent. It also acts as a sweetener for the filling. 

How To Make Pineapple-Filled Cookies

Preparation: Following the detailed recipe card below, collect all ingredients required to make the two elements of the cookie. Preheat the oven to 180C (OTG mode: upper rod + lower rod + fan) for 15 minutes. Also, line a baking tray with butter paper or a silicone mat. 

Method for Pineapple Filling

Add all ingredients to Saucepan: Making the filling is very easy. Take chopped pineapple chunks, castor sugar, honey, and salt in the saucepan. 

Heat The Mixture: Put the saucepan on medium heat and cook the mixture until the sugar caramelized and pineapples get soft. Transfer the filling to a bowl to cool down. 

Method For Cookies

Creaming: Begin by creaming softened unsalted butter, sifted icing sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix and beat until you get a nice fluffy mixture. 

Add Wet Ingredients: Next, add milk and vanilla essence to the creamed butter. Continue mixing until the milk gets incorporated well. 

Add Dry Ingredients: Finally, sieve the dry ingredients: flour, corn flour, almond flour, and milk powder. Add them to the above mixture and fold them to form a smooth dough. 

Freeze: Once the dough is prepared, cover the bowl with cling wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This will allow the dough to rest and cool. 

Shaping: After refrigeration, take out the dough and make balls weighing 25 g each. Take one ball and flatten it out. Add 1 tsp of pineapple filling. Seal the cookie dough in a ball again. Place it on the lined baking tray. Repeat the process for the remaining dough and filling. Now, using a sharp knife, make diagonal impressions in one direction and then make the impressions over the previous one to make a crisscross design (net design). 

Bake: Put the cookies for baking at 180C (OTG mode: upper rod + lower rod + fan) for 10 minutes or until the cookies have a nice golden brown color. 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Tip For Filling

Chop the pineapple pieces finely. If the chunks are too big, you won’t be able to fill much in the cookies. 

Designing Tip

Do not make the impressions with a knife so deep that it cuts through. If the dough cuts, the cookie will break while baking. 

Seal The Cookies Well

Ensure that you seal the cookies after filling the pineapple well so that it does not open up during the baking process. 

How To Store Pineapple Cookies 

Baked cookies must be stored in an airtight box at room temperature. Consume them within 3-4 days. If stored in the refrigerator, you can consume it for up to a week. 

You can make the dough and store it for later use. Cling wrap it well and put it in the refrigerator for ten days or in the freezer for two months.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Is it necessary to use canned pineapple? 

Definitely not. You can use fresh pineapple if you want to. In case when fresh fruit is not available, you should use canned ones. 

Can I add any other fruit instead of pineapple? 

You may try it with fruits like apples, strawberries, cherries, apricots, orange peel, etc. Replace pineapple with other fruit and cook the filling the same way.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
