3. Combine Flour and Baking Powder:
   In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.

4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
   Slowly add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

5. Chill Dough:
   Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough firm up, making it easier to handle.

6. Preheat Oven:

   Roll the chilled dough into balls, about one tablespoon each. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a few inches apart.

8. Make Thumbprints:
   Use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each dough ball, creating a small well to fill with pineapple filling or preserves.

9. Fill Thumbprints:
   Spoon a small amount of pineapple filling or preserves into each thumbprint.

10. Sprinkle with Coconut:
    Sprinkle the flaked coconut over the top of each cookie, adding a tropical touch.

11. Bake:
    Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are pale golden brown around the edges.

12. Cool and Enjoy:
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy the tropical goodness of these Pineapple Brown Sugar Cookies!

These cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family during the holidays or any time you crave a taste of the tropics. Enjoy their chewy texture, sweet pineapple filling, and hint of coconut flavor with every bite!
