Piña Colada Cookies
Monkey Butter - Ooo ooo goood
100 g | 0.5 c Crushed Pineapple
50 g | 0.5 Banana
5 g | 1 tsp Lime Juice
30 g | 2 Tbs & 1 tsp Sugar
3 g | 1 tsp Tapioca Starch
1) Combine the pineapple, banana, and lime juice in a small pot and place over medium high heat.
2) Whisk the sugar and tapioca starch together and add to pot once the banana has broken down into the pineapple. (Mixing the tapioca starch and sugar ensures that your starch will not clump when being added to the boiling mixture.)
3) Mix quickly and cook for about 1 minute to thicken.
The Monkey Butter shouldn’t be runny. Look for it to cling loosely to your spatula momentarily.
4) Divide evenly between all the cookies.

This helps hydrate the mixture and bind everything together.
7) Scoop the cookies onto a parchment covered tray. (These cookies don't spread much so they can be fairly close together.)

Don’t worry if your dough breaks apart as you make your thumbprints. You can easily reshape them to look nicer if you’d like.
