Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained Make sure your pineapple is well-drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Optional, leave out for a nut-free option.
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut Optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you gather your ingredients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Slowly mix in the crushed pineapple and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  5. If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in the chopped walnuts and shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
Baking
  1. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze in an airtight bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, place cookies on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5 minutes.
