1Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the coconut extract and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the finely chopped dried pineapple and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the shortbread to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Pineapple Coconut Shortbread with a cup of tea or coffee!
