  • Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally.
  • Beat in eggs, vanilla paste, and coconut extract until combined.
  • Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer, using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.
  • Stir in the 1 cup coconut, candied pineapple, and the citrus peels.
  • Divide dough into thirds and shape each portion of dough into a 12-inch-long roll.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
