Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop cookie dough with a 1 Tbsp (15 mL) scoop and roll into balls. Transfer dough balls to baking sheets, placing them 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
Decorate each cookie with a piece of dried pineapple and sprinkle with additional toasted coconut.
