Oatmeal cookie dough rolled in coconut and filled with pineapple mango jam baked in a mini muffin tin to create delicious little oatmeal cookie cups with a tropical twist.
There are so many great recipes in the cookbook that I can’t wait to cook/bake. Of course, I was most drawn to the dessert section.
Megan, Megan’s Cookin‘, stayed with me for a couple of days after the conference so we could hang out in the kitchen together. We baked these cookies and were talking about fun ways to change them up. They look like little nests so Megan suggested making them in the for Easter with lemon curd.
But my daughter said, “Don’t change a thing. They’re perfect just the way they are.” You can’t get a better review than that.
The original recipe was for thumbprint cookies and included guava, but I had a hard time finding it and substituted pineapple mango jam. I’ve included the high altitude changes that I made to the recipe for those of you who like me are baking at high altitudes.
Megan and I also cooked up the Pozole with Tomatillos recipe from Mesa Mexicana.

Coconut Pineapple Mango Cookie Cups
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour*
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda*
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar*
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ sweetened flaked coconut
- ⅔ cup pineapple mango jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325º.
- Combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture and mix until combined.
- Put the coconut in a shallow bowl or pie plate.
- Roll one tablespoon of dough (I used a #50 scoop) into a ball. Roll in the coconut to coat, then place in the cup of a greased mini muffin tin.
- Bake for 12 – 15 minutes until the cookie is starting to brown and firm up.
- Remove from oven and using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill with a teaspoon of jam.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until cookies are firm and lightly browned on the sides. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Looks like you had a great time at Evo :). And the cookies look great too! I love the “cups” version (I think I have not gotten over the cups since the Daring Bakers’ challenge), they are so cute, and I bet very tasty :). Heading over to Megan’s post…

How great that Sandy got to meet the Two Hot Tamales! These cookies are absolutely adorable and I love the tropical take you and Megan did.

I’d heard of the soap project before, it just makes sense, doesn’t it? We’re often very wasteful when others are doing without.
I love these cookie cups, Barbara – I’m going to try them.

I’ve always wondered what they do with hotel products. It’s terrible to think it just goes in the bin when it could help someone.
Delicious looking cookies!
Megan
What a great post Barbara. The cookies were awesome, as well as was the soup. It was so fun hanging and baking with you. Thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart. I had a blast!!!

Awesome!

the soap project is awesome – hope they get more and more hotels to participate.
the cookies look awesome also but i don’t have a small muffin tin but i’m thinking these would work as thumbprints – what do you think? and perhaps red rasberry jam instead of the mango.

I thought about attending EVO since it is right in my backyard! I just couldn’t get away from work for those days, but next year I am definitely going to attend!!!
xxoo,

Barbara, these cookies look amazing! You have done a spectacular job, as usual.
Dinner with the Too Hot Tamales was too much fun! I think it was the highlight of the conference for me. Everything in the cookbook looks so good, I can’t decide what to cook first.

Looks like you had a great time! I used to love the 2 hot tamales! Wish that was still on tv. That was one of the first shows on the Food Network I used to watch. I love coconut and want to make your treat. I have to pick a different jam as I can’t have mango. I am thinking I may try lemon curd..I will let you know how it turns out when I do it….Soon this heat has to break!
Eliana
These cups look almost, just almost too good to eat. Love them!
Angie@Angie's Recipes
These are heavenly! I wish I could have a few right now.
Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella
The soap project is a wonderful idea! I often wonder what happens to the soap that we leave behind. I stay in hotels a lot and use the same bar in the shower and the sink but still, I don’t use up that much! 🙂 xxx

Heavenly bites! Those look amazing.
