I found the basic recipe in recipegoldmine, then adapted it to make beautiful cookies for Chinese New Year. The combination of pineapple, coconut and a hint of almond is very yummy! Prep time is an estimation and cook time is 8 minutes per batch. Please note that these cookies are not very sweet, so if you have a sweet tooth, do not hesitate to use 1/2 cup of caster/brown sugar.
