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.
- unsalted butter room temperature
- Egg
- About a cup brown sugar - I used a cup light brown sugar. If you use dark brown sugar, the taste will be slightly different.
- cup granulated sugar
- teaspoons vanilla
- teaspoon almond extract
- Quick cooking Oats
- cup all purpose flour
- teaspoon baking powder
- teaspoon salt
- teaspoon baking soda
- dried pineapple or you can use half a can of crushed pineapple, strained through cheesecloth and patted dry with a paper towel
- sweetened coconut flakes
- chopped pecans
- milk
See the printable recipe card below for exact quantities of each ingredient.
