Notes
Storage: Store the mini pineapple upside down sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer freshness, consider refrigerating them, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
Reheating: To reheat the cookies, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes. This will refresh their softness and enhance the tropical aroma of the pineapple and coconut.
Serving: Serve these cookies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a delightful treat, or arrange them on a festive platter to impress guests during holiday gatherings.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra tropical flair, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the cookies before baking, or drizzle with a coconut glaze after they’ve cooled. This will enhance the flavor and presentation of your festive treats!
