Why you are going to LOVE our Calypso Cookies Recipe

I have always loved Publix Bakery Cookies, and when they suddenly stopped selling the Calypso Cookies, it was a major tragedy for fans of Publix Bakery Cookies!

The calypso cookie recipe at Publix was a bit different, if you can recall their calypso crunch bites. But you are going to love these cookies too, and you can always omit the dried pineapple if you don't want to use it.

Here are the Ingredients that you will need to make our version of the calypso cookies Publix recipe

If I recall correctly, the calypso cookies Publix sold did NOT include pineapple. That was just something that I ended up adding when trying to figure out the Publix calypso cookies recipe when they stopped selling them.

At the time, since they were off store shelves, I had no way of figuring out what the Publix calypso cookies ingredients where.

See the printable recipe card below for exact quantities of each ingredient.

In a blender, grind your oats until they are a fine powder. Then add the all purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and oats to your butter mixture. Beat well to combine all of your ingredients.

Once combined, add the pineapple, coconut and pecans to the Publix cookie batter and beat at low speed for about a minute.

Scoop out heaping spoonfuls of the dough and roll into balls. Place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet one inch apart and bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Allow to cool on a bakers cooling rack.
